Hi,
I am currently working for a family business which has around $1.5 million revenue and my father is the owner of the company. Though he is the owner of the company I do have two mentors (my company employees who are not part of my family) and to whom I report daily and they know me pretty well. Would it be a bad decision to ask them for letter of recommendation considering the fact that they work for my company. Also would like to know will it be a good idea to ask my company auditor to provide a LOR
I have around 1.5 years of experience and planning to apply for MIM programs or masters in finance programs in USA and I did my undergrad in electrical engineering and will it be a bad idea to ask my engineering professor for LOR as I am applying for b school programs
Can you please suggest any other alternatives whom I could ask for LOR

Hi falcon1234
When asked for mba recommendations, schools want the recommendations to come from a person whom you are associated with or someone who closely analyses your activities. It can be your reporting manager or manager whom you have worked with closely in your previous years. Your professor from college can also be your recommender if you are applying to college fresher’s programs. If you associated with any social clubs or NGO’s, your supervisor or the head of the club can also be a recommender. Please make sure that you do not suggest your peer from the work place as your recommender. Also try avoiding the heads of the business (CXOs, Directors, GM) unless you are reporting to them on a regular basis as they need not be aware of your contributions and involvement. For those who are into sales and marketing, client servicing or entrepreneur, clients are also eligible to become your recommender.
Be cautious while selecting the recommender and make sure you do have a good rapport with the recommender. Selecting a wrong recommender may even cost you your admission.
Hope this works for you, Cheers!!

Recommendation letters are usually assessed according to three guidelines. These guidelines will help you select the right recommender:
a. The content. For example, the level of enthusiasm and support conveyed by the recommender and the reasons for it.
b. The nature and length of your acquaintance. The longer and more intensive the acquaintance is, the better. The most effective recommenders are usually those that have supervised your work (unless the specific school guidelines instruct you otherwise).
c. The recommender’s background. Assume two potential recommenders for which criteria ‘a’ and ‘b’ are equally strong. Under this scenario, a recommendation from a CEO or a government minister, for example, would be considered more powerful than a recommendation from a junior manager.
When selecting your recommenders, find the right balance of these three criteria, while placing the greatest emphasis on the recommendation’s content. A standard and lukewarm recommendation will not get the job done, regardless of who gave it. If you prefer not to use your current supervisor, look for a close substitute. Consider a former supervisor, even from a different organization if need be. Be cautiously creative; it is okay to use a project manager or an indirect supervisor if they can speak clearly and specifically to your profile. Other considerations could be professionals from extracurricular activities or volunteerism you have been involved with, or a long-term client you have worked with closely.
