it's tuesday no it's monday it's nba monday this is angela guido the founder of career protocol and i'm talking about mba recommendations this is a special video just for you recommenders people writing those big important letters that are going to help your mentee or colleague or friend get into the mba school of their dreams you have a very important job and i'm here to help welcome to mba monday most mba recommendations follow the same core questions as the common mba recommendation which you can find linked in our description down below there are two core questions in this recommendation number one how i'm gonna read it verbatim how do the candidates performance potential background or personal qualities compare to those of other well-qualified individuals in similar roles please provide specific examples that's the question i'm going to tackle today come back next week and you'll hear the next question which is potentially even more important but let's talk about how to tackle this one the question is effectively about how does this applicant compare to other people that you've seen throughout your career to do this really well you need to include three things first of all you need to include your basis for comparison so how many people of this tenure have you managed in your career how many different professionals have you observed under similar circumstances what is the basis by which you are comparing this candidate to others the second thing you need is to compare that candidate extremely favorably to those other people you've observed the reason this person asks you to write their recommendation is because they want to be successful in getting into this mba program and all mba programs are looking for people who are exceptional now here's the good news they don't have to be exceptional across the board they don't have to be the very best at everything but in that recommendation you want to focus on the ways in which they do excel visa be the competitive set you've observed so if you don't believe that this candidate is truly excellent then i recommend you break that bad news to them now and don't write the recommendation because a bad recommendation or one that isn't fully laudatory of the candidate is actually going to do more harm than good and hopefully you have a good relationship with this person and you don't want to damage their candidacy so if you don't feel like you can really speak very highly about this person then i recommend you don't write the recommendation once you've decided to write it you want to look for the gold you want to find the few ways in which you believe this person truly truly excels vis-a-vis other people you've worked with and you can look at their performance their potential their background or their personal qualities and i recommend that you really make this personal you highlight the things that have been...
