Question I'm in the final phase of getting a job offer I really want. They already told me what the offer is, but they need to check my references before they deliver it in writing. I know my professional references are good but how do I really know what a former boss or colleague is going to say? Your advice will affect whose names I give out. Thanks. Nick’s Reply You know what your references will say by controlling it in advance. You'd never go to a job interview without being prepared. So, why would you let your references talk

I let my references know ahead of time and choose them specifically because I can talk with them about what to say about me. I don't have to coach them, but I do have a few points of emphasis that I appreciate when they can convey said points...
