Hi and thank you for your inquiry.

There is no issue with working for your father's company as long as it is clearly a legitimate company where you are playing a substantial role. It may help you too, in that it gives you more opportunity to demonstrate leadership and to have an impact. If you will be returning to that company after your MBA, that is something the schools like to see as well, in terms of their confidence that their graduates will have jobs. The biggest challenge when you apply will be letters of recommendation since your father cannot write one! Be sure to build relationships with clients or suppliers who are senior to you, or to do volunteer work outside where the organization's leader could write you a reference.

Good luck,

Jessica
