GRC Reference
Posted: Sat Sep 28, 2019 8:22 am
My wife and I have signed up with ISS and GRC. Because of a glitch in the system, she was able to see all of her references in GRC. She saw that one of her references gave her a "Good hire, give me a call" response instead of the one that says she is endorsed without reservation. This surprised her because 1, In 10 years of working for this man, he never once gave her any negative feedback, including for yearly performance reviews and 2, he expressed nothing but support in our job search, even offering to reach out to contacts on her behalf. She was under the impression that she has his full support.
So how damaging is it to get a "Good hire, give me a call" response on GRC?
Obviously we don't know what he said on ISS but we hope that because there is more of a chance to elaborate on the ISS reference form, there would at least be some positive things said, along with whatever his issue with her is.
Should my wife reach out to this reference (indirectly, of course) to find out what the issue is?
Has anyone else become aware of a less than great reference but still had a successful job search?
Thanks for any feedback.
