Esther – I like your article you found. I looked it up and found it very informative and a nice short length. I also though it was easy to understand and to read.

You have a good article Esther. It makes a good point your best friend may not be the perfect reference for you because if you want to become an English teacher you may want a English teacher as a reference.

Esther Scoggin- I liked how you used Mrs. McGreevy as an example for reference because you’re right, if you want to do something for a job, you need information about it before you do it. Good job.

Taylor Lewis- I bet I would have liked and understood your article better than my own. I like how you refer this to schooling. It can be used for that too like for applying for colleges.

Esther- I liked your example of using Mrs. McGreevy for a reference if you were to become a English professor. Your right about always asking to use someone as a reference cause if they don’t know and the employer calls them then it could mean trouble for you. Using your friends and family isn’t professional as you also said.

Tyler - I agree with you when you said you will get far if you follow what you are good at. I think if you don't do this then you would not get far and will not be the most successful you can be. I also like the toot your own horn statement.

http://www.quintcareers.com/job_references.html This article relates to class in a couple ways. One way is that I will be using the typing skills I have learned in the future, and in my job if I choose to have one that computers are involved in. Another reason is that if I wanted one of my classmates to be a reference for me they would have the necessary skills to type up a letter for me to reference them with. One other way is that the classroom setting is a place to practice the skills I need in my future job, such as: Time management, Good work ethic, Respect for authority. These are all things that I can use in my future job and in my reference letters to my employer.

Esther i totally agree with you. Teachers are a great example of people who can reference us.

Taylor- I agree,we need to make a reputation for ourselves. Even if its in or out of the classroom. It will help the employers see how great of a work ethic we have, or it could say that we have a terrible work ethic.

Great articles you are picking, but a few comments - Dustin you need an article related to references. Tori - you shouldn't pick your sister because relatives shouldn't be references, but the other two were great options. Esther you are right about picking someone in that field you are going into. Max you are right class is a place to practice our future skills, but it is also a place to make bad habits and students have to decide what road they want to be on. Katlyn thanks for pointing out that our past affects our future, more students need to remember that. Taylor - peers shouldn't be references, because they need to be over 21.

Esther, I agree with how you said picking Mrs. McGreevy for a reference if you were going to be an English Professor or something, it really helps show that your reference may change depending on what you want to use the reference letter for.

Katlyn, I totally agree that looking at past employers is a good idea when looking for someone to write you a reference letter! They would know how you did at your job, and the experience you have.

http://shiftingcarreers.blogs.nytimes.com/2011 this article is a lot like class because it is what we are learning now. We learned what a reference should look like and how we should pick our people to write these for us. This article, labeled “ How to Pick the Ideal Reference “ shares some of the same information. It is about a man that is was called by a women to write her a reference paper but she did not tell him what for or what she wanted him to say in it. I think that this article has a lot of similar stuff in it that we are learning in class. I think that the whole class should check It out because it is pretty interesting and you might even learn something.

esther- i think that teachers are a very good reference but i think a better one would be your boss. because your boss is always on the lookout for you and seeing you work. all in all though good job!

Haley- I think that you did a very good job with your post. I agree with asking the person first if they agree with making you a reference letter. You need to let them know in order for them to make you one and for them to put nice things on it. Nice job.

Haley you make very good points! If a reference sounds bored or unprepared they aren't going to be very helpful for you to get a job. Comments are closed.
