| Jul 9, 2011 at 18:30 | comment | added | user9072 | Amit Kumar Gupta, what you say is in some sense certainly true. And, there are many discussions around this precise issue to be found on meta. What made me mainly vote to close is that the question has a still looser relation to (research) mathmatics than most other 'career' questions, many of which indeed got closed (without me contributing). In any case, I am glad you got useful answers, and good luck with your applications. | |

| Jul 9, 2011 at 17:52 | comment | added | Amit Kumar Gupta | @quid, MO is a great place for professional mathematicians to reach a wide audience of other professional mathematicians with questions relevant to professional mathematicians. When you have a math question, you could always just ask your colleagues, but often asking questions on MO proves to be very beneficial. The same goes for career-related questions. And it's not as though this site is, or ever will be, flooded with career questions. | |

| Jul 9, 2011 at 10:30 | comment | added | user9072 | I voted to close; IMO 'career' questions are always a bit at the off/on-topic border for the site and getting more so [though I answered and argued in favor of some]. To me this one is 'across the border.' | |

| Jul 9, 2011 at 3:39 | comment | added | Leonid Petrov | If you're trying to get references from authority figures, it would be good for a letter to sound as if this figure was actually sitting in some of your classes. Then I presume that such a letter could be efficient. | |
