A Bad Job Reference

What you don't know can hurt you...

Job search not going well? Interviews, but no offers? If you are a job seeker, you know all too well that finding the right job can be a tedious and frustrating experience. Advice abounds on every aspect of the job search from perfecting resumes to picking out the right outfit for the interview. You can also learn step by step how to discuss your previous employment history so that your skills and accomplishments are highlighted and your strengths identified. There is enough information so that the average job hunter should be able to secure any job they set their sights on.

So why does all this effort succeed for some and not others? If you left your last interview thinking the job you spent so much time searching and meticulously preparing for was yours, only to be disappointed by a rejection letter or worse, no response at all, the reason could surprise you.

Remember that final piece of paper you handed your interviewer as you left... your references. Did you check them? You can be sure your prospective employer did and if you don't know what your old bosses are saying about you, you could be handing your interviewers the nail in your coffin.

The information you need for the decisions you face...

Do you suspect that you are getting a bad job reference? Are you being bad mouthed or blacklisted? At References-etc, our mission is to provide you with the information you need to turn the unknown into the known and the negative into the positive.
