Do the whispers influence you?

Word of mouth is a channel we all hear things from: Good, bad or indifferent.

Contractors in Event Management often get their next job this way through recommendations from their previous work. But how much of what you hear can be taken as verbatim?

Good reputations take a long time to build and can be completely destroyed within seconds. People can be very quick to judge based on second hand information and this can relate to individuals or companies.

Whether you choose to interview with a company or to hire a particular employee, is listening to the grape vine the most reliable source from which to make these big decisions?

I've seen companies decline to interview & candidates refuse to interview based on industry gossip. Gossip has its place and validity, but basing your entire decision on hearsay can be a mistake. 

Attend these meetings (reference check thoroughly) and often you can be pleasantly surprised and at least you will have made up your own mind!
