Dont know if that’s still a thing at WN or not.
To the OP, hats off to you brother, I’m familiar with XJT. Glad you made it this far. You’ve certainly paid your dues.
I completely agree with Whack, delete that account and get a different email account and another APC account too. Good solid advice.
The negative recommendation is definitely still a thing. I am personally glad it is. If you have 5 glowing recommendations and 1 negative one, they aren't going to throw your application in the trash. The recs don't even come in to play until after the interview. They will call the person, though, and get a thorough explanation of why they are negative recommending someone.
This is a surprisingly small profession, and your garbage follows you around wherever you go. There are definitely people from my previous life that I wouldn't ever care to work with again nor would I subject others to them.
