Hi there,
I worked in consulting for around 1.5 years after graduation, at which point I left my job in order to pursue a startup idea. While the startup idea failed, I amassed a few different clients for strategy and marketing consulting and have been doing that for the past 2.5 years.
Two of these years have been exclusively on contract with one single company, an advertising agency, and I've worked mainly for one client, a large automotive company, but also for some other big names. One of my recommendations will be from a client during this period as well.
How do I represent my employment history accurately? Should I say I freelanced for 1/2 a year and then say I moved on to the advertising agency? Or should I say I was freelancing the entire time?
Thanks so, so much in advance.
Best,
K
P.S. I'm planning on applying to HBS, GSB, Columbia, Northwestern and Booth, ideally all first round.

Hi there,
You should be as accurate as possible - it sounds like you freelanced for 6 months and then transitioned to an agency for 2 years, so I'd go with that! The key is how you discuss your accomplishments and frame your growth over that period of time. Best of luck!
