So me and my coworker are programmers. My coworker is applying to different jobs. He asked me if I can be a reference and I said yes. In mine opinion, my coworker is one of the best programmers I ever met and has earn my respect. He does his job well and is a good mentor and a good friend.
I am afraid of being asked about weaknesses from employers and recruiters. I feel that as a reference, I should put my coworker in a good light and not tarnish his reputation.
The best thing I can come up with is:
Out of my two and half years working with person X, his weaknesses
were not made apparent to me. I have the utmost respect for person X.
So how should I answer this question if the question is asked?
