请问在北美工作的CDer当前老板的推荐信是怎么搞的？

我现在想换工作，但是不知道该不该把想今年年底申请的事情告诉新的老板？而且现在老板和我的关系不错。我不知道在这里是真的请他本人写，我一点都不看呢？还是我写好了，给他改改然后签字呢？谢谢了。

这个，完全是您自己把握的。不敢乱建议。

这个， 建议网上递交申请。

I suggest you do your homework on what most b-school are looking for from the recommendation letter.  Then you will be able to give your boss a list of things that you want him/her to explicitly mention in the letter, such as buzz words that can catch adcom's eyes.  Remember it is very likely your boss has no idea what weighs most when it comes to writing MBA recomm letters.  My boss was very cooperative.  He worked with me together on my letter and had me proof read it before signing it.  I personally won't recommend you to write the letter on your own because first of all, you are not a native speaker, so your wording may sound a bit awkward.  Also, the adcom people are professional readers so you don't want them to recognize your writing habit when they read your recomm letters.  It's hard to pretend to be someone else even in writing, pretty much like you are trying to fake your fingerprint.

多谢建议！可是由于我总在忙自己的是，工作上也没有什么突出表现，一直默默无闻，不知道老板能给我写点什么？或者我从现在开始改变形象，在公司表现的像个能人似的，一是比较难，二是恐怕也来不及了

多谢！

You got to do what you want to do.  I belive making it to the b-school is your top priority now.  Don't let the recommendation letters be the show-stopper.   It is not such a big deal if you can't get an ideal letter from your boss anyway.  You can make it up by putting together some good essays, or by scoring high in gmat.  Good luck.

FYI, an inspring quote from Mr. Rumsfeld (with my little twist) - "We go to MBA application war with the recommendation letter we have, not the recommendation letter we want"

Hope it helps.

This quote is really creative, hehe, thanks.

如果你明年就要去读书了, 为什么现在还要换工作呢？ 申请和面试的时候都要阐述换工作的理由， 建议还是慎重一些。 换成是谁在那个“新的老板”位置， 都不会愿意听到自己刚来工作的员工就提出要申请学校， 明年走人。 而且申请的时候你在新的工作职位上只工作了几个月， 老板怎么能够充分了解你的能力？

是啊是啊，可是我现在工作的这个公司我感觉可能等不到我去上学就要不灵了，我们是个startup，总是不赚钱的话，investor不投资，我们就得各自逃命了啊
