Hi,
If I just got laid off today, when is the best time to ask the manager for a recommendation letter and in what way of asking?
For example, since i'm not sure if I will get a gmat score that meets the school's 80% range, I am not sure which schools I will apply to. In this case, should I have the recommender write a generic letter and keep it on hand or should I just verbally ask the recommender? ie. "In case I don't find a job and I might be considering applying to schools in the coming months (5-6 months from now), would you be able to write the recommendation letter for me?"
Once I get verbal confirmation- then this is safe right?
Thank you.
