If someone I knew would recommend you, I wouldn't care at all about the record. You need to build a network and you'll be golden.

If on the other hand, if you just applied on a website - I would not hire you. Some people will not say that on here, but you're looking for honest feedback. That's mine.

completely agree with this as far as the recommendation overthrows the record
