I have a blog

And my LinkedIn history

And a resume

So does everyone else (well...maybe minus the blog)

And yet people lie (or don't tell the truth) on their resume and LI profiles all the danged time

I think asking for references would easily remedy this.

References are worthless because nobody is going to give references that badmouth them.

Let's say I give you three well-respected folks as "references"

That's cool - do you know them?

I'm only going to ever give you people who'll give me a good reference

So asking for references is pretty pointless
