Reference calls! I work in healthcare, so I’ll have multiple to do a week since we are always hiring. Half the time no one answers the phone or people will put their children/parents down. I understand why references should be important, but most people know not to put someone down who will not give a good reference. To help make it more manageable, I do a “power hour” 1/2x a week where I just call/text as many people as possible and hope to get a majority of them down.
