Title: Served as someone's professional reference - help
Body:
Hey guys,
An old coworker (who's more of a friend) asked me to serve as a professional reference for her as she applies to jobs. I'm happy to do it -- she's great and I loved working with her (and she hasn't been at this company for a couple years anyway, so it's not like I have to hide it from my boss.) . But I've never been a reference for anyone before. 975
It was so weird being on the other side of an interview. I tried to talk her up but I think she's gonna hate the job -- it's a public facing role, with lots of talking to assholes and pretending not to hate them. Do you think I should warn her? She's been on the job market for a while so I think she'll take it anyway, but idk. I might want to know 536
