do referees get fed up when you ask them for too many references. i've asked them for enough of them..like ten! do you think asking them for more references will jeopardise the kind of references they write. Should i get fresh referees? wondering.

I'm sure they won't mind. They probably spent a while preparing the first reference for you but after that initial effort, they'll be able to use the original for further reference requests (especially as you will be presumably applying for projects in the same field?). Best of luck with your applications. :o)

thanks!

Hi

I'm worrying about the same thing. I keep asking for loads of references and I'm sure they are getting sick of me! But what else can I do!?

Dont worry most do not mind they have them usually on the PC and may do slight modifications to. In fact I think they can only get better as they get to know you better and also see that you are determined.

thanks for the encouragement Dev.

Most academics will write a reference once and then send the same thing out every time. Don't worry about them being asked for too many.
