alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 So how many years of experience do you have, post undergrad? Just wanting to clarify. Are your post MBA goals to remain in real estate?

Showing impact and growth at work will be very important, supported by strong recommendations.

Are you also involved in any activities outside of work? Any additional hobbies and interests?

parthuman Likes Earned: 0 I've got 2 years of post undergrad full time work experience, and yes my goal is to stay in real estate but shift more towards development and investment. However because I work in my family's business it's hard for me to find a supervisor as recommendation. Outside of work I dance and do some community work here and there. (0)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 Makes sense. Two years is on the shorter end of the spectrum so showing equivalence, in terms of impact and growth will be important, as well as “why now”. Identifying recommenders can be more challenging from a family business. Any non-family mentors or advisors? We have recommender tips that help cover this. (0)
