????大多數(shù)求職者很清楚別人對自己的評價，招聘方聯(lián)系求職者前任老板核實情況的可能性會促使求職者進(jìn)行真實的自我評估。莫蘭表示：“即便你不會打電話去核實，也能通過這種方式獲得很多有關(guān)求職者的信息。”

????反饋：在征求推薦信息時，您經(jīng)常只給出求職者的職位和聘用日期，還是愿意提供更多信息？若您是一名招聘經(jīng)理，是否發(fā)現(xiàn)從推薦人那里獲得有用信息是一件非常困難的事情？歡迎留言評論。

????Most people have a pretty clear idea of how they were, or are, regarded -- and the possibility that you will call a former boss for a reality check may well prompt an honest self-appraisal, Moran says: "Even if you never actually call anybody, you'll learn a lot."

????Talkback:When asked for a reference, do you usually give only titles and dates, or are you willing to say more? If you're a hiring manager, have you found it hard to get useful information from references? Leave a comment below.
