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 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, work ethic, 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 hiring someone with no experience, while passing up applicants who are better qualified? 

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

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