It is about credibility. Ex-Harvard, ex-Goldman Sachs, ex-Apple - whatever it is, the institutions that you have previously been a part of can lend their credibility to you and therefore change the reader's perception of your own competence. The goal, of course, is to have built your own reputation which secures that credibility, but it is perfectly acceptable to say "these people who know what they are doing trusted me and therefore you should too". |
