Writing Letters Of Reference

Arthur Said:

Is it normal for a company to not allow letters of reference?

We Answered:

It is becoming more and more common with big corporations. Im not sure the reasons why but I have noticed it at my workplace and other places I have worked as well.

Fred Said:

Are written letters of reference required or just verbal ones?

We Answered:

Verbal ones, where you provide a reference list and the employer calls or e-mails them.

Roger Said:

My brother took out a 2 month holiday from work to go abroad - now his employer wants a character reference...?

We Answered:

I think by professional they mean someone he knows through business or school or college. Unless he knows his doctor extremely well I can't imagine that they would be interested.
It seems an odd request though if he had the holiday planned & okayed by his employer - or has he come back as a changed person and they are worried about what has happened to him?
