Don’t Assume You Will Get A Good Reference
Time and time again candidates assume when a person tells them they will be a reference, it means a good reference. Not true. In a recent poll 54% said they were given a reference and it turned out bad. This busts the theory that people will only give references they “KNOW” will give them a good reference.
This radio show explores who your references should be, what is expected for a GREAT reference and how to properly prepare you reference.
You should never fall in the 54% again. A GREAT reference can be the tipping point for you to get the position versus someone else that gets either bad or just a good reference.
