Bad References

In this blog I will introduce another fact from http://www.las-elc.org/factsheets/12-facts.html#top. It is absolutely true that a former employer may tell a reference call bad things about you. It just has to be that the bad things are true. A former employer is not allowed to say false things about you. However, there ways to prepare for a bad reference call. The website http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/2008/09/22/what-to-do-about-a-bad-reference gives great advice on what to do. Also the website http://ask.metafilter.com/87768/How-do-I-get-around-a-bad-reference-from-my-last-job gives advice on what to do. Always tell how you have grown from the experience, and turn the negative into a positive.
