Checking You Out....

Hello All Help Wanted Seekers!
Today's tidbit...."the reference check"....I am more concerned that your employment application...is...accurate and honest....It's a company's responsibility to build a team of responsible employees....you can do EVERYTHING right...get the offer....and...then an outsourced security firm (we don't where!) is charged with making sure everything you said about you "is" you....Most large companies will verify your dates and title of employment...if you thought about s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g it a bit....DON'T!!
Nine times out of ten you will be asked to provide "references"......is this silly??....are you going to offer someone who will say something "bad" about you???...one thought to keep in mind....make sure your references are current...the last thing you want to happen is for someone to call a reference...and...the reference responds..."WHO?"...as they scratch their head and try to bring you back to their memory!
"NEXT" up....Compensation!
Your Employment Yenta..(Just call me "T")
