Deliverable: I will read through the recommendation. The main purpose of this service is to clean up the document – making sure an outside reader clearly understands what your recommender is talking about and that the English is clear. My goal is to maintain your recommender’s voice while tightening up the writing. If there are major oversights that I think the recommender should address, I will comment those areas of the document. Not providing examples or specific-enough examples and failing to compare the candidate to his/her peers are common issues I see.
Process: You’ll purchase the service online and either upload the recommendation as you’re going through the checkout process or ask your recommender to directly email me your recommendation leah@fxmbaconsulting.com → I’ll edit/comment the document and return it to you/them within 2 working days.
Turnaround Time: Each service contains several deliverables. The turnaround time for any one deliverable (like new edits to a document based on client feedback) is a maximum of two business days (see the FAQs for more information). Total turnaround time is a function of a) the client’s availability to schedule calls and b) the amount of time the client requires to provide feedback on drafts. A typical timeline follows.
- Day 1: Client or recommender emails me the recommendation draft.
- Day 3: I return the recommendation with edits and/or comments.
