Asked my supervisor for LORs

Had a talk with my manager for letter of recommendation. She was shocked to know that I would be leaving my job. She was probably thinking that after having being worked for 5 years now in this present company, I would be continuing till retirement.

I think I somewhere expected this reaction. I know she has some limitations in terms of understading the future aspiration of people she manages. Well, thats a different story altogether. Point is, she has agreed to give me the LOR and I am obliged. I hope she writes a strong recommendation for me.

Now the search is on for the second person. My choices are 1) my previous manager, 2)my manager in previous company 3) my team lead in previous company 4) some other manager in current company.

I think I will be taking one from each for the various schools I will be applying to. Each and every reference counts.
