Hi everyone,
Most schools require recommendations from two people who are/have been your seniors. I can't decide who should me my second recommender and here is why.
I worked as a journalist in a newspaper for two years, followed by six years in a successful media startup in a seniormost position (reporting directly to Founder/CEO), also as a journalist. Profile includes TEDx Talks, advisory positions in various industry panels, leadership experience, etc.
So for the last six years, I have had only one senior - my CEO. Being a journalist, I do not have any "clients". The only other boss I have had was six years ago in my newspaper job, but that was really long ago.
Who should I choose as my 2nd recommender for schools such as MIT Sloan, which discourage recommendations from those other than seniors? Does the boss from the job six years ago count?
