[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here. Reference letters aren't useless, but they in no way substitute for direct conversations with references. If I am interviewing multiple candidates, with equivalent experience/rates/credentials etc... the one with references with whom I am able to speak directly will win every time. A candidate who cannot back up written references with direct phone conversations that support what's in the written reference will take a back seat. You can ignore this feedback but you will be at a disadvantage if a prospective employer only has written references to go on. (Or you're dealing with an inexperienced, foolish, or desperate employer.)[/quote] You understand you usually don't get phone numbers until the nanny is definitely interested. No one wants to waste their valuable time chatting with you if the nanny doesn't even want your job.[/quote]
