| ianorlin | wait is using people on the other side of the planet a bad idea for refrences as then the employer might end up calling them at like 2am? | 01:06 |
|---|---|---|
| akk | Can you use them as references but give an email address, not a phone number? | 01:07 |
| akk | I bet most employers wouldn't call a number in another country anyway. | 01:08 |
| ianorlin | why are they that discriminatory | 01:08 |
| akk | They might think someone in another country isn't that relevant to employment here, or they might not even know how to dial another country. | 01:26 |
| akk | I dunno, maybe I'm wrong. | 01:26 |
| akk | Just a gut feel that employers might think it weird if you couldn't find any references in this country. | 01:27 |
| akk | (Assuming you're from here ... someone just moving from another country is a different case.) | 01:27 |
