Uh huh I totally agree with that ... be a REFERENCE for him at another job

I would definately talk to him to figure out all of the unanswered questions that are in the back of your mind.


Like a pre-screening.  Lets put it this way.., It is wonderful to help someone out when they need it the most, but ensure that it is appreciated and that they understand that how well they perform or how pooorly they perform will reflect on you.

Has he changed at all or is he still the same?  Are those the reasons why he doesn't have a job now?


 


@MJ - To be honest I really wouldn't know. I don't hang around him much to even know and even if he knew he wouldn't tell me.

Good Morning all, Would you recommend someone at your work even tho your "friend" barely attended school?  Dropped out of several courses?  Making a 3 year program a degree?  Or not even finishing the program?  In regards to the "friend" I know the guy but was never really close to him since I made out with a buddy of his 'soon-to-be' girlfriend. I'm in this current situation.  I said I WOULD give the poor guy a hand, but in reality reflecting on his attendance and excuses during school it doesn't convince me alot or even wanting to send a simple e-mail with his resume to my Manager.  He always slept during school, always made up excuses to miss exams, and even lie saying he was just about to congrat when he was far from it.      Honestly, what do you think?   Should I even bother?  Or should I make it seem like I did however never really didn't? All related feedback is happily accepted.  What would YOU do?   -- Edited by Pelon` at 07:36, 2006-04-20

I would if I worked at McDonalds but not anywhere else.
