Back when I first began applying for teaching jobs, it was all typewriters, physical copies of resume, letters of rec, and physical applications sent through the US postal service. Eleven years ago, all my applications were online, were sent online and no paper was involved.
My son is getting ready to apply for jobs in the science area (physics). He will be meeting with the career people at his college soon but I have a couple questions. When asking for letters of recommendations, should he get a "general" letter that he can use for all applications or should he be getting letters speciific to each job applied. Do they do confidential letters any more? Where the applicant can't see it? Just trying to figure this all out.
Any insight is appreciated.
