I am a lawyer applying to the McCombs MBA. I asked a more senior associate in my firm for a recommendation and was planning to ask one of the partners for another. I just realized that I can only send one recommendation, I already asked the associate for his recommendation and he already received the mail from the university. Should I cancel the associate's recommendation, let him know and submit only the partner's or should I stick to the associate’s?

Did he already write the recommendation? Does it only let you submit one?

If no to both questions, just tell him the truth

Which person is your immediate supervisor? The title or level of the person writing your recommendation is less important than the insight they can provide about your work and it's impact.

The associate, he definitely knows me and my work better. I was actually wondering if the insight was more important than the title. Thank you.

Not yet.

Just one…

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
