Not on screeners, not on callbacks.
Why'd I make this fancy sheet up anyway?

Re: Nobody wants my references
Why would it be a fancy sheet? A list of references honestly takes 5 minutes to make. You use the same heading as your other documents, and just basically type out the names and contact info. I've also given it out all of 2 or 3 times.

School said to print it on resume paper. That is what I meant by fancy.Anonymous User wrote:Why would it be a fancy sheet? A list of references honestly takes 5 minutes to make.

Also, you don't have to always post anonymous.

In other words they are not interested in hiring you.

Re: Nobody wants my references
Probably it's just that law firms, like other hiring entities, realize the uselessness of references. Glowing references are the norm. So the best you're going to do is screen out someone who is enough of an abysmally terrible or psychotic employee to move someone to give a bad reference AND socially clueless enough to not realize this and still list the person as a reference BUT hid both of these traits well enough to pass interviews. Is searching for someone like that going to be the best use of your recruiting man-hours?

Can I ask my references for the money back?
