I get calls on a regular basis to provide formal and informal references on people in my industry. First things first: Reference checks are not background checks. Reference checks are subjective. Reference checks are unreliable and invalid ways of measuring someone’s knowledge, skills and abilities. Reference checks are what you do when you want to know if someone is a jerk. First, do no harm.

There’s no easy way to tell someone they didn’t get the job, however, breaking the news quickly is a must. While it may feel better putting off letting go of a candidate , ultimately, it’s respectful to inform them as soon as possible so that they can begin searching for other opportunities. In reality, the conversation is much easier when it’s short and to the point.

When I started out in their training program I was told I would have the opportunity to work in a variety of different departments. loved this training program and was very happy, using my knowledge and skill from my degree. After finishing, however, the only open positions were in a department that does not only not utilize my degree, but also makes me flat out miserable. Sounds perfect, right? Well, the only problem is I signed a relocation payback agreement with my current company and I’m in the hole for around $20,000. Clear.
