Kiss of death

If you want to get hired on at my work, stay the hell away from me. I have recommended six people for jobs here and not one has been picked. Twice, it wasn’t a good match and they shouldn’t have hired my recommendations. Every other time though, they end up hiring some schmuck who doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground. It’s ridiculous. I’m recommending people apply without putting me on the application because apparently I’m a career death sentence to any resume. Which is strange because I’m very well liked, I do a good job, and I’m consistently praised for my work. It’s not like I’m a slacker and they’re afraid they’re going to get another one. So, lessons learned, don’t use me a reference.
