Graduate School Recommendation Letters
I'm having a tough time with an issue arising from gathering these letters. I have been out of school for more than a year and I am not in contact with my former professors. Most schools say professional recommendations are good as well. I've been working mostly as a freelancer since graduating, and just recently took an administrative job 3 months ago. Two of these freelance clients have agreed to write me stellar recommendations as I have done a lot of work for both of them, we have a good working relationship, and I can continue doing projects for them while attending school.
The problem? One of these schools wants a current resume and letter from the applicants present employer. This is my catch 22. My current employer knows nothing about my grad school aspirations, and would certainly be unhappy that I would be leaving POSSIBLY in six months to attend school. Acceptance isn't guaranteed of course, and I like this job. How do I go about approaching this without totally rocking the boat?
