In regards to recommendations and leadership roles I have been in a tough industry. I work in architecture and over the past four years throughout the recession, most of my supervisors have been laid off and many of my projects have been put on hold or canceled. Moving up has been impossible as my firm has struggled to stay afloat. (We've gone from 160+ employees down to 70).
I am going after an MBA as a career changer with 5 years experience. Should I describe this situation in the optional essay? I'm not sure how to put a positive spin on this other than it has made clear to me I need to change directions.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
