Got a reference back for a young woman I interviewed. I'm fairly new into Management but have always taken on people I already knew.
She was in her late 20s, first professional interview, she was very every nervous when answering the questions but didn't seem at least nervous during small
Talk before it after the interview.
We told her she had been unsuccessful two weeks ago and she was lovely on the phone,saying she was disappointed but understood as she was very nervous.
Anyway i by coincidence find myself speaking to her old manager who said he was surprised she didn't so well in the interview as as was very out-goi f in day to day work. He said she was very honest and genuine and she was very positive. He said she would be a bit too honest at times and would give her opinion on everything including people which other then repeated and caused those ah edits had talked about to dislike her. But she learned towards the end of the placement to just not give her opinion put loud and keep them in her head.
He said she was extremely calm and empathetic during times of conflict and had a warm and friendly personality.
He said sometimes she spoke too much about her private life and got quite drunk at her leaving party.
He said she was amusingly unconventional.
I'm really worried about the getting drunk,gossiping and the too much talking.
But she was very graceful in the interview and seemed really sweet not a ladette!
What would you take from this reference?
I ask because I liked her at interview and it wasn't me who chose not to employ her but the other two staff members interviewing.
I have another position become available and I'd like to offer he really it.
