Recommendation??

[mimi1jb]

Im a recent nursing grad.:bow:I have several recommendations from my clinical professors. My question to eveyone is this..Im going on my first interview in two days. Should I take the two best recommendations even though they are from last semester nov 2007? Is that considered ok? And if it is ok, can i make a copy of the original since i have only have two originals and about 6 interviews scheduled?

Thank you you in advance!!

I'd take them. Imo anything a new grad can add to their resume is a plus. Good luck.

Never take originals, put the originals in a page protector to keep. You may need them later down the road as well. Take copies with you.

Chances are you won't even need to give them out since most places will just drag you inside and ask you to start work. But if you are in a place that has a high number of schools, you might need them, wait for a good spot to bring them up, unless the recruiter asks you for them first. Toot your horn but don't be pushy showing them.

Take whichever recommendations you think are the best. Time period they were written in doesn't really matter - unless you goof and say "I have more recent ones written but I liked these the best" - otherwise they'll never know.

I may be different than others but, I don't look at references or recommendations. This is because I have never met anyone that is going to bring either to a job that is negative.... they are all positive. I base my hiring on the application and the interview.
