anonymous How Important Is "Blue Chip" Experience In Getting Admitted To A Top 25 School Hi Everyone, I was laid off from a very well-known consulting firm after only 10 months of employment (campus hire) due to lack of work available. I have been back in the job market for 3 months and have found it increasingly difficult to land an opportunity at a reputable company. By my estimation, there are not very many entry-level positions available at the moment as most firms recruit from campus and its currently summer. How important is it to the admissions team that my next job be at a well-known, Fortune 500 company? #MBA {{ 1468428852113+1-1 | date : 'short' }} mba Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn All Replies User Picks
Kofi Kankam expert Charles - I just realized this from my previous comment. I would say it's not as important as you may think principally for two reasons: 1) You're going to apply this fall (presumably) such that you would have only a few months at that new firm anyway - no recs from there; 2) You have a lot of experience (including the military) and 3) If you get hired at new firm and can demonstrate that you are doing more work than you would at a name-brand company, it can be a positive. {{ 1468457834760+1-1 | date : 'short' }} my anonymous likes this Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn
