1/ How do you feel when someone asks you to write them a letter of recommendation for residency or fellowship?

Do you feel:

Honored?
Indifferent?
Conflicted?
Obligated?
Happy?

Now that I have a good approach, I actually love writing letters. Crazy, I know!
2/ Since many are in the throes of letters (or just finished) thought I’d share my approach. I welcome your insights, too!

Cool? Cool.

Let’s 1st assume that the person you’ve agreed to recommend, is 1 you CAN recommend. If you can’t? You owe it to them to be honest. But how?
3/
Them: “Do you think you can write a strong letter of recommendation for me?”
You: “I’m concerned that our time together didn't afford me the chance to see you at your best. May I support you in a different way?”

Hopefully, you gave tons of feedback so this isn’t a shock.
