Your mom probably knows you better than any of your colleagues. Did you lie when you wrote you have the ability to do a DCF analysis?

Did you lie when you wrote you have the ability to do a DCF analysis?
- take_a_breath 6y agoI didn’t lie when I indicated I know DCF, but mom knew almost nothing about my professional work. She was able to endorse me without any knowledge and that pretty much eliminates the value of an endorsement. I realized then that it was more of a social network than a business network.
- pnako 6y agoYour mom knows you don't lie and that's why she endorsed you. If I was a recruiter I would consider that a better form of endorsement than a random colleague who endorsed you because they expected some similar favor from you.
- take_a_breath 6y agoI’ve never had a potential employer call my parents for a reference, but they have called co-workers. That implies that the market values the co-worker’s endorsement more.
