How 'nice' can you be?

Boss wants me to write one for myself, then he'll read it over and give his thoughts etc. but I have no idea where to start.

Do I full out say how god damn good I am etc.?

For yourself? The whole point of a reference is to ask a 3rd party about you as a person surely :p

If you lie in a reference, your eyes will fall out of their sockets the following night while you're asleep. Medical fact.

Ah you got one of those f*cked up bosses who say "Here ya go son(for some reason they are all 40's land owners), fill out this here reference of yourself and i'll then fill up one of mine, depending on what you write on yours."

You lie enough, they write you're a f*cking liar.
You don't lie enough, they write you outsell yourself.
You tell the truth, they say you're "un-imaginative".

Just write down:

"I worked, wasn't late and my boss is an a-hole."

Qua-ran-teed success :D

i see whats going on here, the boss is killing 2 birds with 1 stone. you write your self a reference and then hes gonna fire you. when you apply for the next job he can send off the reference you made your self.

an effective time saving method imo.
