Recommendation letters

For what I am going to do, it usually suprises my vicinity.

For whom I choose, it also usually challenges the common knowledge.

I thought about who to reference me— I don’t mean “recommend”, because very likely, they’ll be honest like me and talk about my misbehaviors, such as neuristics and relentless and anxiety disorders.

What comes up to my mind are not really the famous professors, people who have titles like lawyers, but someone that knows me well, or even better than I do.

My doctors, psychiatrists. My daily-life partners.

Yeah, them. They’d be my referee. Because it is them who help me go through the very hard days.

And then my good friends — -just no one’s really left there. So drop this option.

And then my colleagues. I think that’d be a good option to see how she/he gets along with the team. If I were the boss and the professors, let’s just be honest, everyone is facing huge pressure everyday. And I’d like to know the real side that these applicants are like, I can already see how professional they are from the CV. But to construct a real person working with me — — that relies heavily on recommendation letters.

See how their values are, how their friends talk about them, and their doctors. That’d be refreshing and interesting!

I don’t ever think it’s a taboo to talk about the trauma I’ve been through — — although some consider it private and even been left burnden with — — I do consider talking about it honestly and openly a healthy thing.

Be honest and open. Sarcastically, that’s what people want to hide from the CV.

As a nearly 30-aged, I am puzzled. I should/could/might/would take my own decisions. And so I do.
