Job Referencing Question: Download Questions PDF
When does an employee ask for a reference letter?
Answer:
Once a document exists, it lives forever. I have had prospective employees give me copies of letters that were 10 and 20 years out of date, sometimes barely legible from multiple photocopy sessions. After a certain period of time passes, you have no idea what kind of employee your former employee has become, unless he or she is the rare exception who stays in touch. And you never know how your letter will be used or how your words will be interpreted. Adopt a policy that states managers are never to give written, generic reference letters.Inform the former employee that your company will be happy to provide employment confirmation from Human Resources to specific employers who inquire directly.
