WEBVTT - MINI! NEVER ask the Pickup to check your references 🤣

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>It's the pickup around Australia Forritt Laura mitch here thanks

0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>to chemists warehouse rush into chemists to ware houses Frother's

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>day for big brand fragrances at the lowest prices. They've

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>got the great savings every day. We've all been through

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>that awkward situation where you're going for a new job

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes you've been employed for ages, so you haven't

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:18.480
<v Speaker 1>gone through that process of applying for gigs.

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>But we all have to put references.

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 3>It's so annoying because then you know that they're going

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 3>to call your current place of employment and then you're like,

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 3>am I going to get in trouble?

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:25.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 3>It's also it's so silly to me because people always

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 3>if you have put a reference down, you know the

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 3>reference is going to say good things.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:33.520
<v Speaker 4>What's the point of calling?

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 5>Well.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.440
<v Speaker 1>The reason I bring it up is because someone who

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>applied for a job in the US got some numbers

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:39.879
<v Speaker 1>wrong when she put down her reference. So she meant

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.680
<v Speaker 1>to put down a coworker that could give a glowing reference.

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Instead she got one digit wrong and she put down

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a stranger. So this stranger has gone to TikTok to

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>say I've been put down as a reference.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 2>But don't worry. I was great, babe.

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.640
<v Speaker 5>Somebody named Kaitlin listed me as a job reference on

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 5>their resume and said that my name was Katie. I

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 5>think that they just put the wrong number down, But

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 5>I have been getting phone calls this morning from people

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.679
<v Speaker 5>asking for references, and Caitlyn, I just need you to

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.199
<v Speaker 5>know that I have vouched for you. I have come through.

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 5>You show up on time. You are the hardest worker

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 5>I've ever met.

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>She's so good.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>The comments are like praising her for being such a legend,

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.639
<v Speaker 1>because imagine getting a phone call, being asked these questions

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>about someone you've never met, and playing along with.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 3>It on a Yeah, but this girl wantn't be getting

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 3>the job because there's multiple people calling for references.

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 4>So she's not getting a job.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean, Well, she's had multiple calls for references,

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 3>so the reference must be that good because she ain't

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 3>got the job.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, maybe she applied for several jobs.

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 1>And they were coming to the best part is, she

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>says in a Step too Far, I did make up

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.120
<v Speaker 1>a story in which Caitlyn saved Emma's son's life via

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>CPR in the knee drowning incident.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Probably took it too far?

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 3>Is too far? It's like a sales position and the like. Well,

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 3>they have saved someone from the ocean, given CPR.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a real aussy trait though, to just

0:01:58.640 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to pick up the phone and go with the flow

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to help someone out.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 4>Do you reckon?

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 3>We should try this out, see if it is an

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 3>Aussie trade love a random person? Yeah, Midge, won't you

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 3>call someone and just just see a recruiter, see be

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 3>a recruiter or something and see what happens.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>have her here applying for a job for a crane worker.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 1>She said she's worked for you in the past. I

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to do a quick reference check if you

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>don't mind.

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, So, who's Laura? I don't even know her name?

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Laura.

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's just listed you as a previous manager. You

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>may have worked with her in the past. She's got

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>retail as previous experience Laura.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 2>What's the surname, Laura? I can't really disclose. Laura B.

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Laura B, Laura B. She says she worked with you.

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>She said you two had fun at the Christmas parties together,

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and you often would partaking fun runs together for charity.

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I just want to just tick off the list that

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I've got it from Laura. Is that true?

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't even think of a Laura.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>The only Laura that worked for me was hopeless. Interesting,

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>this could be this could be her Jenny. What color hair?

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 1>What color hair did that Laura have?

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, well, she's she was.

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm a headresser, so.

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>She could have any color hair. Interesting. I don't know

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 2>where she worked previously. She didn't work for me for long. Yeah, no,

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine. Yeah, Oh you sat her? Why what

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>did you do? What did you do?

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Because I think this might be the same Laura that's

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>applied for the crane operator role. Oh, Okay, Well, she

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't lot with me long she was just hopeless in everything.

0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Communication was was a floor? Or was it perhaps that

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe lazy long.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Long time ago you're talking as well?

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.120

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>listed back to early as the nineteen nineties, so it

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>could be.

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, definitely, definitely was if it was her.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't employ it. Wow, All right, well she's she's got Wow.

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So injury listening here that once in the tea room

<v Speaker 1>there was a choking incident and she helped bring someone

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>back to life. Is that true?

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, No, that's not something within her character, is it. Well,

<v Speaker 2>I'd really like to know her name. That's the only thing.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:39.840

0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.839
<v Speaker 2>for me, Jenny, I've got her surname. It's Laura Burn

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.039

<v Speaker 4>It's been many years, so bad, you guys, many many years,

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 4>and she's changing her occupation.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.159
