创业的同学们的推荐人都选的谁呢？

goafterdream

看到很多人建议推荐信最好一封来自acadamic一封来自professional的。有的学校还要三个推荐信

我大学时候的教授外语是学俄语的，晕！所以写推荐信是个很大的问题，我毕业5年多了，现在自己创业，大家觉得我这种情况还需要找教授写推荐信么？如果选择我要不要告诉学校我老师是学俄语的，推荐信是翻译的呢？（考虑到会不会有回访的问题）

因为现在没有老板，也没有上司能给我写推荐信，事实上很多保持联系的客户都是其他公司的采购员，属于公事公办的那种。至于我的属下，基本没有能说英语的，有人有我这种情况的么？

Hi there,

If you decide to ask your professor to write you a letter, you should send the letter to a certified translation service and then send a copy of the original and a translated copy to the school.  As for recommenders, since you already have one letter from a professor, you don't need more academic letters. Do you have a business partner or co-founder? if so, you can ask a business partner to write you one. Your clients who are happy abour your work/services are good candidates too to ask.  It depends on schools and programs, HBS asks for 3 reference letters but most schools only need two recommendation letters.

If none of your clients or business partners are not appropriate to provide you a great reference. You should think about anyone that  you had extended contact with either in a professional setting or during volunteer activities or in a social club.  The key is to pick a recommender who knows you well and can talk about your strengths and weaknesses in a favorable way!

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your kind reply. Actually, I did asked someone who know me very well to recomand me to the school. However, I was rejected. Although I am not sure it was because of the recomandation letters, people keep telling me that the title of people who recomand is very important.

As to my professor, actually, i guess she hardly can recall who I am after so many years, especaily, she had not really known her students ever.

Anyway, thank you. I thought maybe others option on this might enlighten me, cuz I am really stucked here.
