Interviewing Tips


Hello Lemonaders,

During a job search, one of the tools you should always carry with you is a Reference Letter, Letter of Recommendation and/or a List of References. This can definitely make the difference between you and a candidate without one. If your employer should choose to contact one of your references, remember:

1. Never give a name of a reference without letting them know first. No one likes to receive a ‘cold call’, especially one asking for a reference. If you give them time, they can prepare a nice ‘presentation’ about you.
2. Organize your references into categories so when the time comes, you know exactly which will work better for the position you are interviewing for.
3. You never know who the interviewer knows, so don’t burn bridges. Also, try and separate personal from business…i.e. Facebook and LinkedIn.
