[quote=Anonymous]Some people seem to not understand how reference letters get used: they are similar to resumes in that a good employer often wants them to scan your work history and use it to a) make sure you clear a minimum bar and b) Use as a starting point for further discussion with candidates they are serious about. However, this is almost always followed up with a reference call, to verify the letter’s authenticity, if nothing else. When a nanny has a great reference letter, I will skip most of the basic questions with previous employers to probe whether she was competent and ask more about personal style, any weaknesses and how best to work with the person. There are of course some employers who may accept the letter as is with no further questions. But the best employers will carefully vet for the most qualified or best fit nanny,just as the best nannies will carefully vet potential jobs.[/quote]
