IGNORE. Nothing to see, move along.

I'll just remove you period. I guess you aren't a reference I can use then.

And with comments like this, you are alienating the very people whom you turned to to assist you in your job search. People who really have no personal stake in whether you actually find a job, but are willing to assist you in that search.

Greg, you asked me to help you by being a reference. I said I was willing to do that, as I have a good knowledge of both what you're looking for, as well as what your strengths are.

I don't recall being notified that my contact information would be posted directly on the web. As I have mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I don't much have a problem with my phone number being on the web, as I myself have done it.

I do have two problems with what you have done with my information.

First, you posted it on your published resume without specifically mentioning that fact to me, and without my express permission beforehand.

Second, that is not the email address that I would prefer material of this nature going to, and I don't recall you asking which address to use for this purpose. Sure, it works. But I prefer to:

1) Keep that email address off the web, as much as possible.
2) Have any kind of work-related email go to mikevitale42@yahoo.com.

Do you see where my problems lie now?

Post #272,050 by folkert 11/3/06 12:37:32 PM Reply	References are now being demanded by recruiters, employers and many consulting firms. Period. Things have seriously changed in the Jub hunt arena. Being forthcoming before they ask is being looked upon as a good thing. Lets the "recruiters" do the job faster. You'll garner much goodwill from the "sponsors" if you have them there. Applications for employment are also starting to be required before ANY consideration for perm jobs. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.

I get pyramid marketing. Amway offers, Military service jobs. All from Monster, Dice, Hotjobs, Craig's list and other things like this. All of these things have been invaded by people working people that are in bad shape to begin with. Hoping to grab existing CASH from them.

Post #272,058 by bepatient 11/3/06 1:03:55 PM Reply	Agree they are required but they are not getting you in the door, which is the purpose of the resume. References by request is still an acceptable practice. Also, last 2 bullets in your experience at your last gig, you need to remove the "I"s and first person references to align them with the first 2 bullets. These things are on your resume, there's no need to say "I did this". Too much of today's music is fashionable crap dressed as artistry._{Adrian Belew}
