Hello, I have a new job lined up and they will be asking for references. Do we give out references (should I ask around) or does PwC only go the generic one

The firm only offers/allows the generic “This person was employed between these dates” type reference.

You can ask colleagues/managers for a personal reference but it’s not official from the firm.

I’ve had a couple of references from my old management in the past. It’s not an issue, just a personal statement about you and your skills/work.

I want to leave my captive company. I don’t think I am ready to be totally on my own even with a cluster group etc. There is an option to be subcontractor in another independent company.

It is like “owning your book” but I assume I would pay a high price if I want to totally manage myself in a futu

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago. I'm actively applying (and interviewing) for new opportunities. What's a good time to mention to a potential employer that I'm on implied status? I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!
