I just got the call from her potential employer, but I missed it and she told me to call her tommorow.I've never given references for anyone and I don't want to spoil her chances of getting the job. I was wondering if anyone knows what type of questions they may ask, as I'm sure they are general questions. Is there anything I should or should not say?What type of questions can I expect? If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks. If you don't want to spoil her chances of getting the job, I'd say you've been doing a good job already by missing the calls.
LOL Lahtina ... he is now prepared to take the call ...

(that is what they asked a friend of mine) In another situation they asked : in 3 words how would you describe her (in terms of work of course ... use reliable as one of the words
Thanks guys. I'll make sure to lie about her sick days. She takes ALOT.
