A student e-mailed me, asking for a recommendation for a job. I e-mailed
her back and asked her what the job was about and a few other questions.
This is her reply:
In the interview he asked me what I thought you would say about me and I
said that because you knew me on a more "professional (?)" level that you
would prob. say that I was a good speaker (from Senior Seminar)...he told
me that I would have to speak to crowds during meetings, and that I had
been exposed to researching and reporting...because I will be reviewing
credit and making decisions about the data given to me. I told him about my
100 on my final (that may be an interesting topic to talk about :)
Here's the problem. This student was barely a "C" student and her last
semester she almost received a "D" in one of my courses. The _only_ reason
she didn't was because she REALLY buckled down and studied for the last
test and, indeed, received a 100. However, nothing else that she did even
came close. She was an OK speaker, nothing special. Any suggestions on how
I'm supposed to handle this phone call? Can I tell the interviewer about
her other grades? I believe that she included me as a recommendation before
I was asked.
