When I started searching for a job at the beginning of this summer, I had two problems: One, I almost never got an interview–without a good reference to get me in the door, I was overlooked in the piles of hundreds of other applicants’ resumes. And two, when I did get an interview, I often found myself holding back (for good reason) from asking a pressing concern of mine: “Would I even like this job, if you were to hire me?”
