Hi,

I quit my job due to certain reasons. However, I am applying for an MBA and I am wondering if this is a blot on my application. I am also trying to get into another job, but I want to send in my applications first before I get into job searching actively.
How can i address this? Please help.

There should not be an issue here as you only have to answer this if such a question is explicitly being asked in a B-school essay. Otherwise else you may not talk about it if a gap is only a few months, because it does not affect your candidature.
Always keep your essays on a positive note portraying your leadership and team building experiences. Talk about times when you felt challenged, you motivated a team or drove a project to achieve impactful results. Such essays will get you interview calls for sure.

Well, what is your story? You DO for sure need to explain this in an optional essay. What are your reasons? What are your goals? Why did you quit? You need to weave a story that will make sense to the AdCom
