I believe these are the same as the questions that the recommenders see - one of my recommenders also told me that there was some sort of word limit in the online form that he had trouble with.[/quote]
My recommender told me there is a limit of 700 character WITH SPACES and he had to work hard to get so many things into the limit. Here is the actual test of how well you have chosen a recommender. The adcoms want to see how good you are at PR. If your boss can not spend few hours on your most important aspect of life then it shows lack of networking !![/quote]
That's a great perspective! But, probably reality calls for a different perception -- at least I feel so; We depend on recommenders, and they feel they can get another employee.
So, networking may not be the only driving factor here.
Thanks

Networking is indeed important. Right from the day you decide to pursue MBA your application is started. You have to start networking in a way it is not limited to just the JOB.
In my case my networking has been great so far. I make limited but long lasting relationships. I m sure they will write the best LOR as per their ability.
This is the trust that can only be gained through networking and PR building.
I have recently switched so there is no point asking from them because of two reasons:
1. I did not have enough time for PR.
2. I can sense the mentality that will surely block my future rewards if I do not get through.
So selection of the right recommender is as important as selecting the right school.

Well, I agree....
I hope one day I get those recommenders who can really care for my growth and move out of their ways and businesses to think and write a detailed helping letter.
I've seen only pure generic or fairly specific business writings -- with a decent intention...
Best of luck with the application process, Gurpreetsingh,
thanks
