Professional etiquette question
I have an interview next week at a firm I really like. My supervising attorney from last summer loved my work, and told me numerous times that she would do anything to help me in the future. Would it be inappropriate if I called her and asked her to write a quick email to the person I will interview with at the new firm?

Re: Professional etiquette question
Hmmm.....maybe ask them to write a letter of req.? I think I might do this too, as I have some upcoming interviews. The firm already told me they'd give me a good reference.General Tso wrote:I have an interview next week at a firm I really like.

Re: Professional etiquette question
yeah that was what I was thinking. do you think it would be better if I just asked her to write something and send it to me and then I can print it and take to my interview? maybe that would be less intrusive than having her email the attorney directly.

Yeah I think I am going to go this route. Thanks for the great idea. This completely slipped my mind, actually.General Tso wrote:yeah that was what I was thinking. do you think it would be better if I just asked her to write something and send it to me and then I can print it and take to my interview? maybe that would be less intrusive than having her email the attorney directly.

Re: Professional etiquette question
Email and tell her who you are interviewing with and if she has any pointers for you. If she really likes you that much, she will talk to your interviewer.General Tso wrote:yeah that was what I was thinking. do you think it would be better if I just asked her to write something and send it to me and then I can print it and take to my interview? maybe that would be less intrusive than having her email the attorney directly.
