| Dear God. All these abbreviations are driving me around the bend. I had to ask what np stood for earlier. What does inkncwyata mean? </BLOCKQUOTE>
you're only encouraging him by caring. </BLOCKQUOTE>
I thought it might have been something that everyone else knew. I should have known though that an auld lad like Retro wouldn't be using the young, hip acronyms.

I was going to type some hip speak at that point until I realised I didn't know any! 
I baulk at using Auld though...

| If it's a written reference it will generally be up to the employee to pass it on although once you have someone on your CV the new employer can request a written reference without you knowing, or sometimes they might just ring the referee. Therefore the advice would be to get a written reference whenever you leave a job, as if it's no good then you'd just have leave that person off you CV.
Ofc always ask someone if you can put them down as well. If I was asked and didn't think I'd be able to give a good reference I'd refuse.
