Maybe the person giving the reference got fired by the person they were asked about. It is always good to get multiple references and to determine from each of them what their work relationship was so that it can be put in perspective.<br />View From Madison Avenuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133010500698814644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575334444752638591.post-2243979216986800582012-09-12T10:43:34.126-04:002012-09-12T10:43:34.126-04:00Very true David.

I recently had the opportunity to speak with someone who'd worked for a person I was interviewing with.

The fact alone that the candidate asked the question, and the CEO liked the answer tells me they're a great fit.<br /><br />In a large company, I'd imagine a lot of people have gathered "references" on the sr management on the way up through the interview process.

Very few people are in the position of turning a job down, no matter how dubious that job's "qualifications" are.george tannenbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10974259094860905139noreply@blogger.com
