Part 1 — Before the call. Create a 20-minute reference check script for a [job title] role. The role's must-haves are: [3-5 competencies]. Write:
- An intro that explains the purpose and confidentiality
- 2 questions to confirm the working relationship (dates, reporting line)
- 2 behavioral questions per competency ("Tell me about a time…") with one follow-up each

Only job-related questions; nothing about age, health, family, religion, nationality or other protected characteristics.

Part 2 — After the call. Here are my notes: [paste notes]. Summarize by competency with quoted evidence, mark each as strong / mixed / concern / not discussed, and list follow-ups. Keep opinions separate from examples.
