About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round Express simulation in the learner's own chair on handling professional references at the end of a selection process, for lifelong-learning, career-management, outplacement and executive-education alumni programmes.

Arancha Lascorz (a fictional management-control lead at a fictional Zaragoza car-parts firm, Estampaciones Salillas) is a finalist for chief financial officer at a fictional food company and is asked on Friday for three references to be called on Monday.

You decide who goes on the list and how you ask them, what you brief them on and how you handle your weak point, what you do about your current employer and about an unauthorised backchannel call, and what you do with an offer conditional on the references and how you close with your referees.

Scored on the strength of your references, your expected salary a year from now, your referees' goodwill, your boss's trust, your credibility with the employer and open risk; asking a referee to say something false or falsifying your employment history caps the score. Spanish with English.
