There are some differences between the recommendations and references, but many people confuse with each other since the resemblances .
We begin to explain the references; they usually are required by private employers , public ever , to prove the qualifications extolled in the curriculum vitae and only in the curriculum vitae. Practically they deny the probable future employee , which is why in 2013 are now gone.
For example, you add to your CV the last telephone number and the name (usually the supervisor ) of a contact person who can prove that it has actually worked in that office with those certain tasks and stop. Nothing more.
Yeah nothing else! The reference here is everything , a person who confirms that you have worked in that office with the duties described above , the referent does not write e- mails or letters to say how good you are at work or how experienced you are , it says in voice over the phone or in person that you are an expert or hire you because best or better than others.
In other words, the question " Hello, I am Mr . X of Y I'm calling because Mr . Z of yours company has submitted for a job interview with us for this job ... "
Ah! I stop a moment myself, it is natural that the referent know that you put it like that, or that he/she have asked for permission, I should not tell you this is just a matter of good manners ...
Resume. The contact person at this point says, " Ah yes! I know him/her, yes he/she worked here (works here) and yes he has worked for such tasks " Finish. The candidate could also be a bad worker , but this is not expected to say with references. Then be honest , if someone who is a bad worker, the employer today who can not wait to knock him out, I would never say " it's a bad worker" so you will not be hiring him and remain in his company? Here's another reason for the disappearance of references.
Say how such a person is good at work to someone else for the ultimate purpose of the assumption is a recommendation.
The recommendation is deceitful and treacherous , first of all because it is not easy to see when you are in front of a real recommendation and when not.
First of all , usually the recommended he knows it and he knows who it is that recommends it for that job and that is a focal point.
The second point is recommended to flush out that while all the others do the exams or job interview he/she did not.
The recommended must be commended on how good he is in his work from someone who is usually not related to him and both of high rank . Maybe the Administrative Director of the same company, for example.
The recommendations are only written, by any means, is a necessary condition. There are also oral recommendations, but there are those made of the same recommended. Like this: " I commend this boy/girl ... " .
The recommendation is the tomb of meritocracy, this is because only those who know people who can afford to get good jobs are the "good " place automatically leaving out those who do not know anyone. And if you do not know anyone who was better at the recommended?
The practice of networking is in essence a disguised recommendation , given that the work can only be achieved through knowledge and not through the interview or better the interview is falsed.
Another recommendation is camouflaged when you add the reference to the question " But it is good to work with, it's a good worker ? " .
And any suggestions? Are recommendations?
Let's say there are two professionals who meet in any way (including via the internet why not) and one of them expresses the desire to hire new people, but maybe after several talks has not yet found the right person, the second professional suggests a name.
Become a recommendation in which case the assumption is automatic, but if, instead , the first professional contact name suggested requesting an interview and making an appointment, and only after an interview you will be taking positive: in this case there is no recommendation.
It's natural, since the latter anomaly, that those who are going to contact the name suggests it is established that the person must be present at the interview, get the message, for example regular mail (does not always work properly), the e-mail sometimes are not delivered due to problems in the correct period (sounds weird , but sometimes it seems that the host will eat the e-mail), by telephone is usually the safest route. If you do not want to contact or hire the person best suggested that you tell your partner immediately .
Usually the recommendation suggests low-skilled and with little merit (on average it is) and the reference instead of the liars that they are licensed , in both cases it is not polite nor bring or ask for, is not only polite, but runs the risk that the persons recommended are unpopular and hated about whether or not from other colleagues.
And you are recommended or referenced ? Or are you just deserve ?
