Sometimes I don’t put contacts that I know practically have a script prepared on a reference list. I’ve come to find that it’s really easy to find a few people who will talk you up. All you have to think is who cares most about you and has a different last name.
Sometimes I put contacts that don’t know me too well because they are forced to share what little they know. After that, they assume, they predict, they judge honestly.
It’s often more remarkable to hear where other people think you are going in life than it is to hear people say where you told them that you think you are going in life.
It’s a risk, definitely. Hasn’t failed me yet.
