And I was wondering if I could ask my fellow Dopers if any of them would mind being said reference.
Actually, you’d be a kind of stand-by reference, if my others don’t come through. It’s a nearly impossible to use a current or former employer as a reference these days, as they refuse to say anything beyond, “(Insert Employee/former employees name here) worked for (Insert comapnies name here) from (Insert dates here).”
I spent 1/2 an hour on Friday going around and around with a lawyer from L. L. bean’s personnel department, which was not fun.
I kept saying: “it’s not a reference for a job, it’s a reference for school.”
Lawyer: “Well, the program you are entering is specifically geared towards a specific job isn’t it?”
WSLer: “Yes, but the reference isn’t for a job…”
Lawyer: “Technically it is.”
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! :mad: :smack: :mad: :smack: :mad: :smack: :mad: :smack:
Sigh
Sometimes I really feel like going back to being a professional drunk.
Anyway, if any Dopers are interested let me know and I’ll email you with the details.
Thanks.
