Burnt Bridges

So on my way out of dodge I burnt a bunch of bridges with upper managment at my last job. It felt good at the time to speak my mind but prolly not so wise in retrospect.

I gave them my two weeks notice but before the two weeks were up they asked me to leave. Still, my former direct supervisor and a number of peers are willing to write recommendations on my behalf, though my former direct supervisor might not be as enthusiastic as he would like because he still works there.

How should I approach this in the application? Specifically, when a B-school is verifying your info with former employers, what, if anything, do they ask for beyond confirming dates and salary? I can fully defend myself, but I'd just as soon not have to deal with it if I don't have to because oftentimes, the appearance of impropriety is fatal.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Dear zuleron,

It is good that you are seeing that your departure was probably not ideal in retrospect so you do not make the same mistake going forward. Most business schools that conduct background checks will be verifying dates of employment and job title. However, if you do use someone from the firm as a recommender, I think it will be risky. Even if that person writes you a good letter that is relatively vague, the school might call that recommender to ask more detailed questions resulting in the story of your departure--which will reflect poorly on you. So, I think you should try to secure recommenders from other jobs if at all possible.

Good luck,
Lisa
