非大牛推荐信有用吗

agnesliuyc

楼主现在突然意识到 没有大牛推荐信 会不会跟普通推荐信一样没什么用

楼主在一个电影公司实习两年刚转正，第一个推荐人是老板。
老板以前给disney和turner做vp，后来自己出来干了20年。

第二个推荐人是在学校上课做项目时认识的usc的professor，那节课结合了一些consulting和marketing的基本元素。
这个professor同时是一个non-profit的头，大概就这样了。

楼主自己开了个餐馆。。想申mba，已经大概问出来愿意接受楼主经验的学校，但是现在的纠结是：
1）这些推荐人的背景不知道行不行
2）是不是应该和他们详谈我的求职目的和为什么要上学

现在很纠结，他们的推荐信，估计是不牛的。不知道有什么补救楼主背景的办法。

谢谢大家了啊！！！！！

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the reply.

Hey,
Thanks for the reply!
So since your relationship is a “:professional” one then you are good to go!
I wish you the best of luck,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the reply.

The second one is actually not my professor. I happened to know him through an course at UCLA and worked with him on his non-profit organization for about 7 months. He teaches at USC but my relationship with him will more on the professional side.

Also, some schools are asking for three recommendation letters. The other recommender I thought of is my other boss at the same company of the first recommender. However, I am not sure if a recommendation letter from her will be strong enough since I will be having two out of three letters from the same company.

Thank you very much!

Hello there!
Good questions.
So the first referrer is quite good, as it your boss and this person has a long experience behind them. Your second recommender is less good because he is not your boss. and MBAs prefer PROFESSIONAL recommendations and not academic ones.

I would suggest swapping your second recommender for someone who actually oversaw your work.

Best,
Jon Frank
