Question about recommenders

by ganeshkulkarni » Mon Aug 27, 2012 6:46 pm
Hi,
I am applying to some schools including ISB and NUS.
I am in a fix over whom I should select as an evaluator...
Three years ago, I started a company along with some partners. Frankly, all this did not work out much. In the context of the evaluation/recommendation questions, I can not think of anybody who can do an honest assessment of my work during this period. Actually, this venture not working out as intended is a reason why I want to pursue MBA.
In this scenario, will it be ok if recommender I choose is from my earlier job? I had many achievements and significant success in the earlier job.
Thanks in advance...

Unless you have a very good reason for not choosing a recommender from your current place, it will look weird, especially if you have been there as long as you have. I highly recommend figuring out who might be your best go at your current workplace. The ideal candidate would be excited to help you.

Hi Jon,
Yes, what you say is quite logical. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I think I will take recommendation from one of my clients.
Best wishes! :)
