Search Results for 'candidate for the role'

Q: One from slightly left-of-field here – I have been asked to write a reference for someone who worked with me almost 20 years ago. I remember her very well – she was an excellent employee – but it was a different time. We only had one PC in the office and this woman did not even use it. I know she has developed her IT skills in the meantime, but I cannot vouch for those. She is going for a job as a personal assistant, which is similar to the role she did for us back then. With all the changes that have taken place in technology and work practices in the intervening 20 years, is it feasible for me to even write a reference for her? (MK, email)
