Bring 3 References

Submitted by Walter Arnett

I have a friend who isn't the brightest bulb. He had sent out his resume to a bunch of places but was having trouble landing an interview. Finally one day he got a call back. When the hiring manager called him to schedule, she asked him to bring several copies of his resume and three references. He called back an hour before his interview and asked to reschedule saying his references couldn't come with him to the interview. I didn't have the heart to explain to him that she meant contact information. Needless to say he didn't land the job.
