[01:06] <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?
[01:07] <akk> Can you use them as references but give an email address, not a phone number?
[01:08] <akk> I bet most employers wouldn't call a number in another country anyway.
[01:08] <ianorlin> why are they that discriminatory
[01:26] <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.
[01:27] <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.)
[01:28] <ianorlin> and most employers view normal as good thing
