「同你講恭喜又太老土,升職你收到風㗎啦,多餘嘢我就唔講喇,新人工下個月生效。」Department head嗌我入房,畀咗封升職信我,佢講得冇錯,升職呢單嘢其實一早有共識,雖然冇驚喜,不過有人工加點都開心嘅。

我:「都要同你講多謝嘅,請大家食餐飯啦,睇下你哋想食lunch定係dinner,我揀餐廳!」
Department head老實不客氣咁叫我請lunch buffet,佢話收工趕住湊仔唔得閒dinner,不過臨尾仲講咗句:「我覺得你應該請你前上司食餐飯就真。」
我:「無啦啦做咩請佢食飯?」
Department head:「諗返兩年前請你嗰陣,其實有另一個candidate幾好㗎,男仔嚟,高大威猛有啲似以前《真情》嗰個立生,我到而家都仲成日記得,你話幾深刻喇!不過你前上司封推薦信寫得太好,最後都揀咗你,咁就兩年,時間真係過得好快。」
我:「呢啲信間間公司都一式一樣㗎啦,不過前上司嗰陣係對我幾好㗎,我哋都好耐冇聯絡喇。」
Department head:「其實突然間講返起,係因為Sarah(我哋team另一位同事)早排resign,最近應該搵緊新工,噚日有間公司打嚟想我幫手做reference check,啱啱先填完,我喺度諗緊好唔好學你前上司咁,讚到個前下屬天上有地下無,希望幫到Sarah入職,話晒相識一場,Sarah之前又咁幫到手。」
我:「其實做得reference check,間公司都好大機會請佢嘅,應該冇問題。」
Department head:「都未必㗎,你當時話想去埋個旅行先返新工吖嘛!我真係動搖過㗎,都係嗰句啦,你前上司封信寫得太好,而家睇返轉頭,佢又冇老點我嘅。」
聽完我並冇放喺心上,反而諗返起嗰陣interview完咗,HR問我可唔可以兩星期後返工,我話唔得,因為買咗機票去旅行,然後HR就話咁樣要同公司傾傾先,仲以為呢份工最後唔會揀我啦,點知最後真係等埋我。
關於前上司封信寫得太好呢件事,我一直以為係講緊reference letter,真係間間公司都咁上下,印象中亦係一啲例牌嘢,直到department head畀返我睇。
Department head:「喂,上次咪提過你前上司封信嘅,我決定咗喇,幫Sarah寫返封一模一樣,改過個名咪得囉,應該邊間公司見到都會請佢啦!」
我:「有幾特別呀?真係有用咩?」
Department head:「咩唔特別呀,你前上司寫Emma would be an asset to any organization, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement. 話你對任何公司嚟講都係寶貴嘅資產喎!就係因為咁我先等埋你去旅行返嚟咋,嗰陣其實等人用㗎!」
Department head遞佢部手提電話埋嚟,螢幕係顯示緊佢用email打開一份文件,睇清楚啲先至知道,原來佢講緊嘅係推薦信,唔係講緊離職嗰封reference letter.
Dear Imen:
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Emma. I have known her for 5 years.
Emma has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. She is definitely a leader rather than a follower.
She is also a most dependable team player. Her good judgment and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to her endeavors.
Emma would be an asset to any organization, and I am happy to give her my wholehearted endorsement.
Imen係我department head個名,而Emma就係我個名。
原來當時公司想請我嗰陣,曾經send過一份reference check畀我舊公司,前上司收到之後特登按照啲contact information打嚟搵我而家個department head,打咗個招呼之餘,仲問我department head拎埋email address,除咗完成個reference check同埋口頭上讚我,更另外send咗封推薦信過嚟,內容就係上面嗰堆英文。
我都唔客氣喇,叫department head將呢封推薦信 forward畀我留底。
事隔咁耐,而家先知前上司打過呢封推薦信,我真係完全唔知情,唔肯定deparment head當時究竟有幾想請另一個靚仔,但諗返嗰陣HR嘅語氣,最後旅行返港佢哋仲等緊我,相信封推薦信多多少少都發揮咗一定作用。
我真係諗緊約前上司出嚟食餐飯講多謝,不過大家已經兩年冇聯絡,我仲諗緊開場白,又唔想太肉麻老土。其實肯另外花時間同心思幫舊下屬打推薦信確實好難得,諗起當中嘅一字一句我都覺得好感動。(完)
