    I hope this doesn't catch on: references up front

    Stinky linky.

    Technical Project Manager to manage a third party implementing a country-wide Infrastructure refresh of 100 + sites.

    You must be able to provide two telephone references immediately on request.

      If you're firm, and the contract exists, no agent will turn you down for declining to give references prior to an offer.

                  I'm sure you must have proactively leveraged something near me. No probs

                    I honestly don't mind this; it is a bit rude, but if it makes the difference and gets you the job then more fool them.

                    if you haven't got any clientco bods who will do it (as I have) then just find anyone as our forum-brothers above have offered.
