Reference checking seems so passé doesn’t it? What valuable information could one possibly glean from talking with someone that used to work with you? Well, a lot actually if it’s done properly. However, that is the crux of the problem. In checking a reference, most people are so overly cautious not to say anything that can’t be taken as 100% positive that they either end up communicating almost nothing of value or make the valuable information worthless by not being believable (see quote below).
