Hey everyone,
I write this post with great sadness. My firm let me go right before R2 apps. Along with other issues, my senior manager found that I am applying to school. He was outraged. I had no idea this was coming with the amount of "good jobs" and "great work" feedback I heard regarding my performance over the last few months. Needless to say, I felt totally blindsided.
My firm is generous in letting me stay through the end of the year to try to find a new job. They are also letting me claim voluntary termination to recruiters and schools. But I am highly concerned about my applications. I won't have to disclose any employment gaps given the submission deadlines. However, I will have to disclose that in interviews if they ask me to bring an updated resume.
I have a 740 GMAT, 4 years of boutique consulting experience at 1 company only, strong extracurriculars, and am planning to work with an admissions consultant. Money is going to be tight. My recommendations will not be affected by this (different managers who are all pulling for me, not the most senior manager)
Has anyone dealt with something like this? I want to be honest and ethical. I'm scared for the future if I don't make it into business school given thin employment prospects coming from a very niche consulting background. What do I do?
Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your job. While it's definitely disheartening I do not think it will adversely affect your applications unless you are waitlisted. I interviewed at three schools last year and none of them asked for an updated resume at the time of the interview. There's actually no reason for a school to do so since there is only about a 4-6 week window between the application submission and the interview. Schools do not expect that anything significant would have changed in that short a time frame.
Additionally, I know several people who left their jobs in December/January and were admitted to top schools. Your situation isn't ideal, but it's also not a deal breaker. If asked during an interview about what you're currently doing at your job (which I doubt will happen) then just be truthful and say you recently left to pursue X,Y, or Z. I wouldn't volunteer the information unless asked.

Don't worry so much. I've had several B-school interviews and they don't ask for a resume or anything. You could just use the one you submitted with your application. If you can't find a job immediately though, def stay involved in something weather its a voluntee nonprofit or something. Or even better go do some world travelling. You need ot show that you are still active and have a good story about how you are taking the time to do xy and z.
