This is the only way to avoid that "missing reference," no matter how well deserved.

A written reference letter that cannot be verified is no more useful than a missing reference.

I completely disagree, especially when you acknowledge how angry certain people get when you cause them discomfort. Are you one of those people?

What do you disagree with? I'm speaking from the perspective of someone hiring. You hand me a glowing, written reference. My next step, and that of any reasonable person, is then to contact the writer to verify the information and ask more questions. At which point, the applicant is back to square one as far as explaining why this isn't possible. (Actually, they are in a slightly worse position, as they now appear dishonest, by handing over a good reference from a source that is no longer willing to stand behind it)

Now, whether I'm willing to overlook the missing reference, due to many other good ones, or other circumstances, is an entirely different question. But this "essential procedure" has gained you zero at best.[/quote]

This. Exactly.[/quote]
