Even if the report wasn’t entirely accurate it was a good jumping off point for explaining why someone should use people that actually know him/her as a reference on a resume or CV.

I contacted the company, gave her a good reference and she was offered the job but she turned it down and took a better one…with a local film company filming one of TV’s hottest shows in Atlnta…

If she only worked for Mike once he might not have enough experience with her to certify she can do those things on a regular basis. He can certify she worked for him once and she was either a good or bad “employee” that day and whether she can present herself professionally (no visible tattoos while fully clothed, isn’t ugly, natural hair color, etc) but that is it.

As for using a porn reference on a civilian resume or CV, in the US that might not go too well. I will assume she was a US resident and applying for a US job since Mike films his scenes and lives in the US although admittedly the US porn industry has had at least three UK nationals in the past ten years. Peter Acworth is a UK national and performed up until about 2010, Sophie Dee is a UK national and performed up to about the last two years, Mona Wales is a UK national and is currently performing here, the industry also has had a Spain national in the past ten years, Briana Banks is German and has performed on and off since the late 1990’s, Rocco Reed is a foreign national from the EU (don’t recall what country) and IIRC Steve Holmes is Austrian and performs in both Austria and the US — all performing at least once in the time since 2007 (if you want to go back earlier a whole article could be written on foreign performers starting with Rita Faltoyano, Ben English/Derek Hay and Dick Nasty), so my assumption is rebuttable. I probably wouldn’t give two shits about a person having a porn past but many employers would — granted, I haven’t worked in an industry where it really mattered — I have had appreciable hiring authority or influence in two industries, banking doesn’t require a squeaky clean sex history as long as his/her criminal history is clean of financial malfeasance misdemeanors, recent unjustified misdemeanor assaults or serious threats of assault or felonies and logging certainly doesn’t require a clean sex history — with the logging business I did the paperwork and accounting and didn’t need any help (my father handled the actual physical labor end — I couldn’t wield a chainsaw if my life depended on it), anyone hired would have been cutting, skidding or loading trees which even a former ax murderer could theoretically do and we did hire felons to work for us from time to time.

1. You might be able to attest to her punctuality and presentability (before the scene)
2. She’s able to put up with a lot to “get the job done”
3. She’s got a lot of stick-to-itiveness, (especially after the scene)
4. You might attest to her ability to work and play well with others.
5. She’s humble (having put a bukkake reference down)
