Can someone who recently left the firm still refer me?
- Referrals
An alumnus from my university left an MBB firm a couple of months ago but still knows people there. They offered to help with my application. Can a former employee still submit a referral, or would it need to come from someone currently at the firm?

Can a consultant refer me to more than one office at the same firm?
- Referrals
I am considering two offices at the same consulting firm and a consultant has offered to refer me. Can one referral support applications to both offices, or should I choose one office before asking them to submit anything?

Mayank G.CoachReferral mechanics vary by firm, so do not assume one referral automatically attaches to multiple office applications.
What if my referrer asks me to draft the key points they should mention about me?
- Referrals
A consultant said they are willing to refer me and asked me to send a few points they could use. How much should I write without basically drafting the referral for them or making the endorsement sound scripted?

Mayank G.CoachGive the referrer factual talking points, not a pre-written endorsement they are expected to copy.
Can a consultant refer me if we only worked together on a pro bono student project?
- Referrals
A consultant volunteered on a pro bono project with my student organization and saw some of my work directly. We were not coworkers, but they know how I perform. Is it appropriate to ask about a referral?

Mayank G.CoachYes, that can be a credible basis for a referral if the consultant actually observed your work.
