Resumé references from their principal. (1 Viewer)

[Forbidden.]

Anyone heard of this or got theirs ??
I haven't got mine yet, they better not state my qualities falsely.

Yep I got mine in my folio on graduation night. It was really good .. but very non-commital.

I think my written references from other teachers would be better to use than the school/principal one.

I think you will find it will be done by a select portion of your teachers, really can't see a principal knowing all the students in year 12 well enough to write about them. Well at least ours was done by a few of your teachers, you got to say which teachers you wanted to write about you.

we gave them a list of our achievements in various fields
then our year advisor and principal wrote a nice long reference for us
am quite happy with mine, got it when we signed out

So I went to my school half an hour ago, only to find according to my school I achieved a Credit in the Chemistry Comp but I actually achieved High Distinction omg !!

Ummm .. a page or two ?

One page, at least of the references are my school were, they wouldn't have the time to write more then that and employers wouldn't want to read it.

yeah ours was a page, looks very nice with the school logo all in colour and our school colours sort of faded around the border...well it sounds retarded when i say it but yeah

I need to see if my school's got mine ready yet.

They said they would be done 3 weeks ago (but they weren't) so I'll have to contact the school and see if they're actually ready to be picked up yet...

I'll get mine when i sign out.

Finally got mine all corrected and ready.
Will present it tomorrow to an interview along with my sparkling Year 12 reports and a spam of certificates (Maths competition in particular) featuring Credits galore.

Lovely spelling of principal... you'll go well in the "real world".

Yer because one's ability to spell on the internet is a reflection of how they will go in later life./idiot.

on topic: we dont get a resume reference from our principle or school.

I went to an interview, I was given a numeracy/literacy test which was out of 25 as part of my application.
I'm sure I went well in the numeracy part but when it came to the literacy part I was annoyed. >:-|

 

[tanjin]

I finally signed out today.

Got everything though - references, first aid certificate & all this other crap.

 

[chocolate_lover]

I rang up the school the other day, some day last week. And the office lady said she wasn't sure if the references were finished or not, but that she "thinks" that they will me mailed out. What about if I wanted to go for a job interview tomorrow?

Ah well, just as long as I get it eventually...
