Speaker 1: It's the pickup around Australia Forritt Laura mitch here thanks
Speaker 1: to chemists warehouse rush into chemists to ware houses Frother's
Speaker 1: day for big brand fragrances at the lowest prices. They've
Speaker 1: got the great savings every day. We've all been through
Speaker 1: that awkward situation where you're going for a new job
Speaker 1: and sometimes you've been employed for ages, so you haven't
Speaker 1: gone through that process of applying for gigs.
Speaker 2: But we all have to put references.
Speaker 3: It's so annoying because then you know that they're going
Speaker 3: to call your current place of employment and then you're like,
Speaker 3: am I going to get in trouble?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's also it's so silly to me because people always
Speaker 3: if you have put a reference down, you know the
Speaker 3: reference is going to say good things.
Speaker 4: What's the point of calling?
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: The reason I bring it up is because someone who
Speaker 1: applied for a job in the US got some numbers
Speaker 1: wrong when she put down her reference. So she meant
Speaker 1: to put down a coworker that could give a glowing reference.
Speaker 1: Instead she got one digit wrong and she put down
Speaker 1: a stranger. So this stranger has gone to TikTok to
Speaker 1: say I've been put down as a reference.
Speaker 2: But don't worry. I was great, babe.
Speaker 5: Somebody named Kaitlin listed me as a job reference on
Speaker 5: their resume and said that my name was Katie. I
Speaker 5: think that they just put the wrong number down, But
Speaker 5: I have been getting phone calls this morning from people
Speaker 5: asking for references, and Caitlyn, I just need you to
Speaker 5: know that I have vouched for you. I have come through.
Speaker 5: You show up on time. You are the hardest worker
Speaker 5: I've ever met.
Speaker 2: She's so good.
Speaker 1: The comments are like praising her for being such a legend,
Speaker 1: because imagine getting a phone call, being asked these questions
Speaker 1: about someone you've never met, and playing along with.
Speaker 3: It on a Yeah, but this girl wantn't be getting
Speaker 3: the job because there's multiple people calling for references.
Speaker 4: So she's not getting a job.
Speaker 3: What do you mean, Well, she's had multiple calls for references,
Speaker 3: so the reference must be that good because she ain't
Speaker 3: got the job.
Speaker 4: Well, maybe she applied for several jobs.
Speaker 1: And they were coming to the best part is, she
Speaker 1: says in a Step too Far, I did make up
Speaker 1: a story in which Caitlyn saved Emma's son's life via
Speaker 1: CPR in the knee drowning incident.
Speaker 2: Probably took it too far?
Speaker 3: Is too far? It's like a sales position and the like. Well,
Speaker 3: they have saved someone from the ocean, given CPR.
Speaker 1: I think it's a real aussy trait though, to just
Speaker 1: to pick up the phone and go with the flow
Speaker 1: to help someone out.
Speaker 4: Do you reckon?
Speaker 3: We should try this out, see if it is an
Speaker 3: Aussie trade love a random person? Yeah, Midge, won't you
Speaker 3: call someone and just just see a recruiter, see be
Speaker 3: a recruiter or something and see what happens.
Speaker 2: Oh what, I'll just pretend that I'm after a reference.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: Pretend you're from a recruitment company and just make them
Speaker 3: believe that your friends.
Speaker 2: So this is Jenny called Jenny out of the blow.
Speaker 2: All right, cool Jenny, jesus, it's called Jenny. Good afternoon, Jenny, Jenny.

Speaker 1: I've got you down as a reference for Laura. We
Speaker 1: have her here applying for a job for a crane worker.
Speaker 1: She said she's worked for you in the past. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to do a quick reference check if you
Speaker 1: don't mind.

Speaker 2: I can imagine. Yeah, Oh you sat her? Why what
Speaker 2: did you do? What did you do?
Speaker 1: Because I think this might be the same Laura that's
Speaker 1: applied for the crane operator role. Oh, Okay, Well, she
Speaker 1: wasn't lot with me long she was just hopeless in everything.
Speaker 1: Communication was was a floor? Or was it perhaps that
