What do you do...

[grrrr]

When you're calling references for applicants and one them has listed your ex girlfriend, who you've not really wanted to call for quite a few years?

[truth]

Call it and see if you can hit it for old times sake.

I like the way you think.

call and ask about the applicant, and give a fake name for yourself. you need to check the reference, but why make it about you and her? of course, if there is any chance she will catch you, or later discover that it was you, this could backfire...

I would say that the quality of the referend is a direct reflection of the quality of the applicant, and that you shouldn't consider hiring this person. Unless, of course, it's an attractive woman who will agree to have on-camera sex with you and then mail the tape to your ex.

Tell her the new guy's job depends on it. That should keep the lawyers at your firm busy for a few...

Be professional. Either get over it, or have someone else in your office make the phone call.

He's probably banging you ex....do you really want to work with him?

You mean people actually call references? Uh oh, better update the resume.

[Viva]

Send her a professional letter requesting a phone interview, but giving her the option of writing a letter of recomendation instead.

best answer.

but even if you can't hit it for old times sake you gotta call and check it out (referencewise); bizness is bizness.

How can you stand there smilin'
After all you've done
You know it seems to make you happy
When you've hurt someone
Twice before you fooled me
With your deceivin' and lyin'
Come in and close the door
One more time, one more time

Yeah you've been gone so long
No one knows where
And you say that you still love me
Then show me you care
'Cause you got what it takes sweet mama
To make a man feel fine
So I'll take the word of a liar
One more time, one more time

Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know I'm playin' with fire
Get burned everytime
Yes I'm a fool for you baby I can't deny
But I got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time

Girl you've got me hungry
Losin' my mind
I know I'm playin' with fire
I get burned everytime
Yes I'm a fool for you mama I can't deny
But I got to have your sweet love
One more time, one more time

Yes I'm her fool once more
I can read her brown eyes
But when the rooster crows tomorrow
Well its her turn to cry
I'm headed down that old road
She lost her free ride
So tonight I'll take what I paid for
One more time, one more time
One more time
