Follow Up on Letters of Recommendation

One week to due date on your Letters of Recommendation. Have you done any follow up calls or emails? It takes a bit of persistence, so don't hesitate to give a friendly reminder.

As soon as you receive your recommendation, get a thank you letter off and include a little something like a nice bookmark, designed post its, or even a candy bar. It is important to bump your appreciation up a notch.

If you are more comfortable sending a handwritten note, that's fine. Do remember to make a copy of anything you send for your portfolio.
