As jen says below, sometimes we know each other virtually better than we know the people with whom we work in our own buildings:
Hey y’all!
This is super preliminary, but would any of you be willing to be a reference for me in the event that I apply for a job and need a peer/colleague/PLC reference? At this point, it’s just a heads up/preliminary inquiry. I don’t have something in mind right now, but am rewriting my resume and thought it would be a good idea to line up a few folks. I feel like you guys know me better than my own colleagues in the building.
If you choose to do it, I will contact you when I am applying and give you details about the position. For now, I don’t need anything. I may put your contact info on my resume if that is ok.
Feel free to decline too. No pressure.
🙂 Gracias / Merci 🙂
Jen
