Hi /biz/

I'm a reference for my friend who is being interviewed for a job which specifically asked for a friend as a reference along with professional contacts. I have to complete a form where I rate 18 aspects of his personality on a scale of 1-10. For over half of them I gave him a 10, I just want to know before I turn it in how that looks to an employer. Would you not take it seriously if I gave him great reviews for everything because I'm his friend and of course I'm going to want to make him look good? My scores for him are how I actually feel and I'm not going to artificially give him lower scores to make it seem more realistic, I'm just curious how it will be taken if I didn't give him anything lower than an 8 in any of the personality traits.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 04:39:30 2016 No.1686427 >>1686415 Are you being serious?

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 04:43:48 2016 No.1686429 >>1686427 yes, else why the fuck should I consider your friend if you think he lacks in some fields. get me a friend that you think is good, not mediocre.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 05:04:34 2016 No.1686440 >>1686429 idk I think it would ruin the credibility of the reference if I give him 10/10 for everything

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 05:07:34 2016 No.1686442 >>1686429 I see you're attempting to cope by saying the reason you have no friends is because no one is good enough. Bitter permavirgin neckbeard with no friends detected.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 06:24:40 2016 No.1686477 >>1686457 All 10's. With a sidenote, "I have never known a better man in my life." You are not fucking HR to evaluate objectively, he asked you to recommend a friend and it is what you did.

Option 1
Give all tens and write a note saying how fucking stupid this form is.

Option 2
Make your friend fill it out so that when he doesn't get hired it's not your fault.

Option 3
Don't fill it out and tell the employer to call you. During the call you should pretend your friend just paid you and his dick is deep in your throat. Tell the employer how great your friend is and give examples about how he would be successful in the work place. Make that bitch want to hire him. You are his wingman.

Option 4
Go to the store and suck a boss' dick.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 09:18:56 2016 No.1686613 >>1686608 fucking anon, how incompetent are you.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 10:30:16 2016 No.1686667 >>1686613 Not at all

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 13:28:18 2016 No.1686782 >>1686393 Screening potential employees by testing their friends to see how retarded they are. I like this approach. Birds of a feather, after all.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 13:34:34 2016 No.1686789 >>1686782 How common is this?

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 13:51:45 2016 No.1686809 >>1686789 I've never encountered it but then I'm not fungible and easily-replaced.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 13:54:03 2016 No.1686812 >>1686782 >Screening potential employees by testing their friends to see how retarded they are. this is exactly what it is, I reckon he works in a sales position or marketing.

>>	Anonymous Sat Dec 24 14:00:52 2016 No.1686818 >>1686812 It's a technical position

Anonymous Sat Dec 24 14:09:41 2016 No.1686823

This is getting common and is very ridiculous.

Don't overthink it. Anything short of 10s is going to raise red flags. Basically what they're going to do is ask three references willing to vouch that this guy they're considering hiring is

1. not a drug addict
2. not a pedophile
3. not human garbage, etc.

basically, if you vouch for a guy and he turns out to be a wreck, you'll be blackballed as well.
