MBA - Letters Of Recommendation
Being accepted into a respected MBA program is more than just filling out some paperwork. In fact, there's a great deal of research and preparation that goes into the process, including the application form itself, essays, references and/or letters of recommendation. Skimping on any of the application process could result in a rejected application.
When seeking out letters of recommendation, it helps to have a template as a guideline. Letters of recommendation should come from a respected colleague, current or past employer. They should be able to attest to your professionalism, integrity, work ethic, while giving solid examples of how you've contributed positively to the organization. The college/university wants to know who you are as a person, professionally and personally. They want to do what makes you tick and what dynamic skills you have. Specifically, a letter of recommendation should contain the following information:
- Who the letter is referencing.
- The writer's connection to you (i.e., current employer, colleague, etc.)
- The number of positions you've held while working with the writer.
- How much contact the writer had with you in your daily work environment.
- A list of your strengths.
- The writer's contact information for easy reference.
