• Job references need to be treated with kid gloves, says expert
• “Do not leave your professional references to chance”
Total Recorded Time is 15:47
Even in these days when it seems there are more job openings than people to fill them, job seekers should treat their references as a treasured asset, says Jeff Shane, president of a company that checks references – for job seekers.

Jeff Shane outlines the problem and offers solutions in this Bizgnus Podcast.
