would like to get some opinion on this. Say you have listed 5 references
on your resume' and that you would like to test what type of information
they would give to potential employers,so you decide to conduct a test.
You have someone call them up and pretend that he/she is a Chairman
of a Department interested in hiring you and that this person is
interested in the references' opinions about you.
Based on the info received,you decide to drop one or two of the references
from your resume' because of negativity.
Is it ok to put refences to such a test?
