MIT Sloan wants two references and 1 letter. I have my direct supervisor as the letter, and my first jobs direct supervisor as one reference. I have no idea who else to put as a reference. Thoughts?

Yes! A peer is a great tertiary reference. Gives the AdCom a glimpse into how you work in a team, how you’d be viewed by classmates, etc.

Thanks A1. Anyone know how MIT reaches out to these references? Email or phone call? I’d want to warn my references if the school is going to cold call them lol

I was going to put someone who is technically one year above me but has the same title. They’ve worked with me closely and reviewed a lot of my stuff but not “direct supervisor”

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
