"Do I sound unkind here? I hope so. I'm very visceral about this subject, since it can destroy, not employ. In fact, there should be a law against reference-checking. Unless you know how to supercharge your career using this subjective, totally controllable, powerful device.
"Finally, the omission of that short three-month nightmare from your resume and applications is a judgment call you have to make. I'm not aware of any case where this has been deemed a 'material misrepresentation' unless the candidate was fired for a violation of company policy or worse.
"That should have you off the street and into the seat ASAP. Best wishes for every success!"
NOTE: Jeff covers how to get phenomenal personal and professional references immediately (along with 100 other essential items) in "Instant Interviews: 101 Ways to Get the Best Job of Your Life." There's never been a book like this, and he's the only one who could write it. Place your order now, because it will be a sellout by its release in June. Highly recommended!
