Giving Someone Your Recommendation


Jimmy: My cousin Sal said that he put in an application for a job here. 


Suzanne: Yeah, that’s right. 


Jimmy: Well? 


Suzanne: Well, what? 


Jimmy: Are you going to hire him? 


Suzanne: I’m not sure. He doesn’t have any experience and he didn’t provide any references. 


Jimmy: I can vouch 1 for him. Sal is solid. He’s a really nice guy. 


Suzanne: I appreciate you putting in a good word for him, but I need more assurance than that he’s a nice guy. He needs to have the temperament 2, work ethic 3, and skills for this job. 


Jimmy: What he doesn’t know he’ll learn on the job. He’s a quick study. 


Suzanne: How can I justify 4 hiring someone with no experience, while passing up applicants 5 who are better qualified 6


Jimmy: He has my ringing endorsement 7. What else do you need? He’ll work as hard as I do. 


Suzanne: That’s exactly what I’m afraid of.
