Hey Paul,
I have a Bachelors Degree in Electricl Engineering and have been working for the past 10 months, but have job hopped twice (im currently on my 3rd job in 10 months). This, owing to the fact that it is difficult for Engineering Grads to come by jobs in the financial sphere and i have been in pursuit of any job that gives me a better exposure to the financial field.
In an effort to obtain a competence and break into the financial world, I have decided to pursue the MSc in Finance. One of the main reasons for this being that schools do not stress much on work experience.
Now, when applying for the course, i am required to furnish a minimum of 2 Letters of Recommendation. 1 academic and 1 professional.
In the light of my frequent job changes, i am in a quandry with regard to the LOR from my immediate superviser as my current superviser has not had much of an interaction with me and i fear that this will reflect poorly on my application.
Please advice.
PS. im specifically looking at applying to EDHEC France.
Regards
mdc

mdc,
Given that you are unlikely to get a strong reco letter from any of your three employers over the past 10 months, since you are a recent graduate you might be able to "get away" with two academic letters of rec if both are very strong, knowledgeable about you, and enthusiastic. Tell the schools briefly why you can't get a good letter from employers (but deemphasize the job-hopping). Alternatively, you could consider getting a letter from an employer during your university years? Since, as you noted, the MS Finance is an academic degree, two academic reco letters should be fine as long as both recommenders can comment on your potential in finance. Take a look at the MS Finance applications to see if they state any preferences for who the recommenders should be.
Good luck,
