My interviewer needs references , But who ??

Question

Where can i find a good reference from ?
i have no clue..who does this reference people Body consist of ?
my employer wants me to let her know of 3 of my references. and i am sitting here worrying if any of them will say something bad about me and that could jeopardize my Job Position.

Can you let me know what to do in this position ?

Answer 1

Reference name
Personal or Professional Reference of XX years
Reference job, company name
Reference street address
City/state/zip
Reference phone
Reference email

Always ask before using someone as a reference if it is okay with them

Use your religious leader, someone you worked for, old family friends.

Answer 2

Most likely the references will not be contacted. When we hire someone, we look at the references to see if we know these people that are listed. That way if we do, we may have an idea who you are and the people you know. When I fill out an application, I put down people I have know for several years, a friend that may work in a simular place for which you are applying, ect. Don't put down a relative. ANd also dont' go on and on on the application. The more to the point the better.

Answer 3

Are you still a student? If so, get people familiar with your work ethic at school to become references.

If you've held a job before (although presumably you would have needed references there too), use them as references.

If you are in a situation where you worry that your references will say bad things about you, then you're obviously not a model citizen.

Answer 4

Hi there....
best to be more prepared next time...have your three references always ready...
Use only references you Know will be positive..how? Always ask permission first if you can use them as a reference...and then ask them what they will say about you.. encourage them to use adjectives..its easier to relate with adjectives and hopefully they can come up with at least five that describes you.

Thank them for being your reference and let them know they may be contacted. Now for this job...can you contact those references and have them prepared for a possible contact? Better late than never.

Because I am never too sure about my previous employer...I have my former colleagues as references, besides they have better knowledge about my skills.


Good luck

Answer 5

Employers usually prefer you to give non-family references.
Try to find people outside of your family that know you the best and are on good terms with.
That could be either friends, or people you've worked with from previous jobs, a teacher, or even from someone you volunteered for.

Answer 6

Best references: former employers with whom you had a good relationship, close friends and business associates that know you well or for a good amount of time--the longer the better. Try to avoid relatives unless you have a business association with them and they have a different last name than you.

Answer 7

genuinely, do not fail to deliver an digital mail thanking them for the interview. that's your probability to as quickly as back, get your call in front of that person. The failure to ask for references isn't an computerized undesirable sign. i'd frequently not have asked for references till i grow to be waiting to make an grant to an applicant.

Answer 8

Choose people you have worked for or with. No relatives. Also choose someone who can vouch for your character like a minister or a teacher. Ask them in advance if it is allright to use them as references.
