How to Use This Skill
Reference Check Prepper transforms the passive “submit names and hope” approach into active reference management. Here’s how to get the most value:
Before Submitting References
- Share the job description with the AI
- List your potential references and your relationship with each
- Get help selecting the best matches for the role’s requirements
- Generate “soft ask” emails to confirm willingness
After Securing References
- Create customized cheat sheets for each reference
- Generate talking points for your briefing calls
- Prepare weakness framing strategies
- Document logistics (contact info, timezones, availability)
When Problems Arise
- Draft urgent follow-up messages for unresponsive references
- Create context statements for potentially negative references
- Identify substitute references quickly
- Prepare responses to recruiter concerns
Best Results
- Start reference prep when you reach final rounds (don’t wait for the ask)
- Brief references 3-5 days before they’ll be contacted
- Always confirm willingness before listing anyone
- Keep the AI updated as the situation evolves
This skill is especially valuable for:
- Mid-to-senior professionals with complex work histories
- Career changers needing to highlight transferable skills
- Anyone with a potentially negative reference in their past
- Job seekers in tight-knit industries where backchannels are common
