A great session. Thanks a lot.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Can we ask an NGO where we have provided volunteer services to be our recommender? Or Is it necessary to ask for a recommendation from our professional workplace?

[@mbaMission]

Your primary recommender should ideally be your current professional supervisor. Alternatively, your recommender can be a previous supervisor from your current or past workplace if, for example, you have not been working very long with your current supervisor. If the MBA program asks for two recommenders though, then you could ask your supervisor from your volunteer work to write a recommendation, especially if this is an activity where you have invested significant time and made an impact.

@@mbaMission Thank you so much for your response. Yes, that's true I do have a huge career gap. As advised by you I will consider all these points during my application process.
