Wanna be my reference? Do ya, punk?
Cats: blatant self-promotion, random thoughty-ness|So here’s the deal.
If you like me, or can PRETEND to like me (or you can pretend to appreciate and respect me in some manner), you, too, can be my reference.
That’s right, the person whose information I give to potential employers so they can bug you and ask deep and probing questions about me.
Oh, and you’ll have to write a letter of reference, too.
Yes, dear friends and acquaintances, I need references. And I need them RIGHT NOW.
Because I have this class… and I have to compile the information NOW, and turn it in. Now. Or, at least, very soon. Like… this week.
So let’s get on this. IF you really think you want to be the nice person I just know you are, get me the following information. Soonly. Por favor.
Your Name
Your Title and Organization
Your mailing address, city, state, zip
Your contact telephone, specifiy if it’s home/work/fax (or all of the above, if you like)
Email address (for contact by prospective employers)
How you know me (this won’t go on the resume or anything, but I have to have a good excuse for having your name, and I need to know what YOU are going to answer when asked, so I can say something like the same thing when interviewed. Because, you know, consistency and getting the story straight is really a valuable skill to an employer.)
So yeah. Do please email that info to me. Send it to hopfro at hotmail dot com.
And if you’re feeling saucy, and want to compose a BRILLIANT and complimentary letter of reference, I won’t spit on it.
No, I will not.
Have a lovely day.
