Quick question here: I have gotten two letters of recommendation for my schools. One of my recommenders who was a past supervisor wrote very detailed recommendations that catered to each program, so I am not worried about this one. He detailed my strengths and weaknesses very well. I also reported d...

New boss, what to do about recommendations?
Question: I have gotten two letters of recommendation. One from a previous supervisor and another from the CEO of my company because I worked directly for him once my boss left the firm. I work for a small firm of about 40 people. Just last month, I got a new boss. I would rather use the letters of ...

So I have an update here. I was able to get a title change today. The company has also started having me go to management meetings and things of that nature so I think this builds a better story for my app than going to Deloitte for less than a year but I am getting a lot of people telling me Deloit...

Nah I can't. I'm taking the gmat again. I think I will probably switch to Deloitte and hope it doesn't hurt me too much.

It is an associate position so it is still more entry level but I still think it would be a good experience. I actually accepted this job in April and they wanted me to wait until October with the class of Associates they are bringing in so I could also talk to that as well. The position is on the a...

My thought process was I have a great letter of recommendation from the small company. If I leave and that burns a bridge somehow, I don't want it to jeopardize my ability to get a recommendation letter in the future.

Hi Alex, Thanks for the feedback. Also one thing I forgot to mention was that I accepted this job in April but the position starts with a new class of Associates in October. If I explained that I accepted this position in April but during the wait time I realized now is the best time for me to get a...

Hello, I started looking at the recommendation letters for schools that I am applying to. HBS for instance says that recommendations should be uploaded through a corporate email address, instead of Gmail, yahoo etc. If my recommender is a boss who has left the company, will it be looked down upon th...
