[求助]如果我在家族企业里，我能找谁写推荐信??大疑惑…..

我的家族企业是国际性的医疗相关品牌，

我现在准备要申请，但遇到了大麻烦---------我该找谁帮我写推荐信？

A、我的顶头上司几位都是家族成员，能找他们写吗？

B、公司里的同事呢？其实找同事是有点尴尬的，但无论如何，同事可以吗？

C、有的学校需要三封，我能找朋友写吗？如果可以，朋友写的内容是否该较偏向人格特质的描述呢？

I recommend including a recommendation from your customer or business partner (non-family member) so the admissions broad can obtain an objective view.  Make sure each recommender provides a new perspective and consistent information.

Here are some helpful tips from admissions website of U Penn and Chicago:

There are instances where the candidate cannot select the obvious choices (confidentiality over leaving / not enough time in current role) or there are no obvious choices (family business / entrepreneur). In these cases then the choice of recommender should likely be explained in the optional essay so we can understand the contraints surrounding the choice. Note that as we evaluate recommendations, we are not only looking at the content and what we can learn from it, but we will also look at the judgment with respect to the choice of the recommenders. Other potential sources of recommendations are clients, business partners (objectivity may be called to question, much like using family members if working in a family business), mentors, community service supervisors etc.

Q: I work for the family business. Is it O.K. to get a letter of recommendation from a family member?
A: It is acceptable if you feel the individual can comment objectively on your professional experience and potential for success. However, we highly suggest letters come from a more objective source than a family member. A colleague or client may be better suited in this scenario.
