I'm the type of candidate you describe, I think. I'm concerned. Does the average hiring manager wants a good candidate or a candidate who makes him look good? The way I see it, it's mostly the former, even with people I respect for their honesty. How can you make a hiring manager want a good candidate -- assuming he unconsciously think this is not the best option? I have a partial answer: every single one of my managers got promoted, mostly because of my results. In the long term, good employees are obviously better for everybody but the fool doesn't know it. Which makes me think that, when they got promoted, that's when I want them to talk about me and capture that in your thing. A manager promotion, maybe, is a key moment. Because at that moment, some will think twice before forgetting the guys who got them promoted. At that moment, I wish I could have got to them with your form.
