Job Referencing Question: Download Job References PDF
Do letters of reference worth your time?
Answer:
No one puts critical information in reference letters, so we know they do not count for much. Besides, when hiring managers get to the point when they want to talk to your references, they want to talk to them-on the phone, where they can ask questions and probe around. They want to hear the tone of your reference's voice, hear where they hesitate before answering and hear what happens when they dig around about potential problem areas.
