"Job references. One of those things that we all do at one time or another. I'm Gloria Campbell with advantage training systems. And I'm going to give you some ideas on how to write a job reference. Job references are used to really help that individual or the person who is interviewing them, get a little bit more of a feel or flavor for the potential employee. And in a job reference you want to mention who the job reference is for, that person's name. What position they may be applying for, or what position they worked for you in. You also want to give maybe a detailed description of that person. You might say something like, John was a great employee, a wonderful team player. His greatest asset is his organizational skills. If that person received any type of commendations or awards you might also list those as well. And then finally you want to say that you recommend this person for any position that would require xyz. Giving a good job reference is important. We all may need one at any time so keep that in mind. I'm Gloria Campbell with advantage training systems in St. Petersburg, Florida.
