__ Dilemma: __ A former class mate has applied for a job at your company and used you as a reference without asking your permission. You have not seen the classmate for some time but remember them as being irresponsible and somewhat of a gossip.

__ Solutions: __

__ If I found out by someone else rather than my boss I would: __ solve this dilemma by contacting the old class mate and try to see if she has changed her irresponsible and gossiping ways, if she has I would put in a honest recommendation for her about the way she is, if she hasn’t then I would have to give a honest recommendation about the way she is.

__ If it was advised about this situation by my boss I would: __ Solve the dilemma by saying that it has been a while since I’ve last spoke with her and need some time to reacquaint myself with the friend in order to give you an updated and effective recommendation…

( A text from the boss at work) hey, your friend Denise Russell put you as a reference on her application I need you to come the following week and tell me what you know about her. Pancho :( text his friend Denise) hey why you didn’t tell me that you put me as a reference on your application. We need to meet me so we can talk about the needs for the job. Meet me at the café Wednesday after school. (Wednesday after school) Pancho :( sat at the table waiting on Denise impatiently) Read silently: [Denise walked in high and late as always.] [Pancho looked with this disgusted face.] Denise: pancho my man! I got your text message what uppppppp!? Pancho: [with a irritated voice] well I seen you haven’t much always late and high. So tell why did you put me as a reference, is it to be a joke because it not funny. Matter of fact you didn’t ask me nothing. Denise: dang dude why you trippin on nun, I added you because you are a great person and I knew I’ll get the job if you were a reference because you have my back right? Pancho: [serious and calm voice] see you never take anything serious and I believe that there’s a time to play and a time to be mature, and when it come to work I take my job seriously and if I // I’m //going to put my rep. on the line you going to have to prove to me you are responsible and mature enough for this job. Denise: [sarcastic voice] hahaha mature and Responsible Are my middle names I got you I promise I won’t let you down so do the same for me. Pancho: you didn’t even show up on time today. But what make you so sure you going to be on time for work 2yrs or more. Denise: 2yrs! I only need to job for four months. Pancho: you do know that the job position you applied for is the minimum of 2yrs? Denise: yeah but before the four months are up I will put in my two weeks notice I’m pretty sure they find someone better by that time. Pancho: well in that case I think were done here, And you’re already answer my question. [The following day!] [Pancho went back to his boss the next day and told his boss that he talked to Denise and said that she not what the job needs.]
