Hello all....
Gentlemen:
Please know that we (I, especially) will check EVERY reference you provide THOROUGHLY. Also know that just because you provide a reference, that doesn't necessarily mean it will pan out as a positive reference! DO NOT use me as a reference if we have never met! I will NOT provide reference for someone I have never met!
Ladies:
VERY THOROUGHLY check EVERY reference provided to you (ESPECIALLY if it's me)! Don't be afraid to ask for additional recent references if the one(s) provided to you aren't up to perfect par! Please take a look at infoshare for a recent alert on this topic. Thank you to the provider who immediately told me what had happened.
This is the ONLY way we will stay safe!
