Advice from Amy Dickinson.
Ask Amy: I worked with her briefly nearly 20 years ago, but she keeps asking me to be a reference“Liz” and I worked together for a short time nearly 20 years ago. She was excellent at her work and was an officer in a national organization in our field.A decade ago, I spoke with an old colleague and recommended her to work at a firm I worked at 30 years ago. Liz got the job and was fired within weeks; I am not aware of the reason.
Several weeks ago, she contacted me yet again, asking for a reference for a job at a preeminent firm where I have had close contacts for decades.I found this out when she texted me and told me she had given my phone number to someone at a new opportunity, who would be calling me. With so many failures after my recommendations are given, maybe I’m not the right person to be providing references.If all “Liz” has to do to get a great reference from you is to supply your phone number and then shoot you a text, then you sound like the perfect mark.
