Letters of recommendation? Yes or No??
I am not sure that letters of recommendation are really that valuable. Sometimes, my candidates don’t get to use them at all. But other times, they can help land the interview (when the hiring manager isn’t sure that the resume is a fit for the position). This is generally an issue when you (the candidate) are trying to make an industry leap. Otherwise, they make nice filler in a brag book.
So I guess….yes!
Nonsterile has some good tips on getting letters of recommendation, including: ask your customers. I love this tip for people in medical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, medical device sales, pathology sales, and pharmaceutical sales, for obvious reasons. Customers offer a unique (and critical) perspective on your sales abilities that would be helpful and might give you an edge in the job hunt.
