Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

I need to ask my supervisor for a letter of recommendation for applying for a new job for next year. Any suggestions on how I should phrase my email asking her?

You should be very menacing and quote tv villains liberally but in a slightly demented way: "I am the one who knocks" should probably secure the job for next year.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hil, do you have to let your boss know you're looking? That would make me very uncomfortable.

Because books.
Hil, you can talk about looking for new challenges academically/professionally, and personally wanting to explore other areas before settling down to a "forever" place (or something like that).

All the jobs I'm applying for require several letters of recommendation.

Hmm. I can try something like that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Also, you could bring up proximity to medical facilities.

Honestly, with the state of the academic job market, no supervisor of Instructors should be at all surprised at their supervisees looking for other jobs. Unless the supervisor is a jerk, you just say, I am happy at [this place] but am also on the broader market this year.

Has your University had budget cuts? If so you also indicate that you are happy here, but want to have a backup offer in case unexpected further cuts endanger your job. Of course that makes you sound insecure so I'm not sure ...
