How to be a reference for a job-seeker

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 03:45:15 GMT

Q. I’m only 25, but my peer at my old company is interviewing for a new job and asked me to be a reference. I’m excited! But what does this mean — what do I have to do?A. Congrats on the honor! Whether you’re 25 or 65, my insight is the same. First, find out from your peer the type of roles they’re pursuing and to alert you when they’ve gone far into the interview process. Typically, a reference isn’t called after the first interview but rather closer to a job offer.Identify the skills you should highlight. Ask your peer about the skills suited to the jobs they’re pursuing that you should emphasize with specific examples. Perhaps if time management is a critical skill you can speak about an example your peer demonstrated that hit the ball out of the park with time management when deadlines were looming.Once you have this information, you don’t have to do anything else until you’re contacted by the employer. Then, I’d ...

David Fincher debuts ‘The Killer’ at Venice Film Festival

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 03:45:15 GMT

LIDO, Venice, Italy – Michael Fassbender may be “The Killer” but like Hitchcock or Spielberg, it is director David Fincher who looms large as its real star.A violent, often black-humored descent into the mindset of a professional hit man, “The Killer” world-premiered Sunday night at the Venice Film Festival minus Fassbender and co-star Tilda Swinton due to the actors’ strike.Cinema has a long and venerable tradition of the lone assassin, which Fincher, 61, said in a press conference was appealing.Assassins are attractive because, “It’s a very simple, compelling straight line drawn. We took something people know — the goals of an assassin – which is fun to illustrate. It’s high stakes. It’s also extremely procedural before you exhale and pull the trigger.“But I think this is more a revenge movie than an assassin movie. The corpses he leaves on the side of the road don’t fit in any way shape or form on the schedule he has for himself.”Which is part of the joke, the disconnect be...
