In reply to Can I ask my T for a reference?, posted by milly on April 15, 2006, at 16:36:41
Hm, personally I wouldnt feel comfortable having my T as a reference just for the fact that usually the employer wants to know *how* a reference knows you, and I wouldnt be comfortable with a potential employer knowing something so personal about me (that I'm in therapy).
But, regardless, I do think that you should discuss the job possibility with your T. He/she may be able to provide some insight and unbiased opinion as to whether you are ready for such an undertaking. And, perhaps while you're on the subject, if you still feel you want to ask, you could segway into the reference topic.
Good luck
