People You Should Never Ask For Reference And Why. by Etizz: 4:53am On Sep 10, 2015 |
A good list of reference is almost as important as your resume and cover letter. Sadly, it is much more likely to slip your mind during the job search process? Job seekers often hand over the reference list without thinking about what will happen next. But like other ‘more important’ aspects of job-hunting, reference checks can be used to your advantage https://blog.ngcareers.com/4955/people-you-should-never-ask-for-reference-and-why/ 13 Likes 3 Shares |

First to comment?? Well, It's nothing *in olamide's voice* Nice write up... Although Except high level coys, many coys hardly contact reference. Co's, no one would knowingly put his wicked step Mom as reference. U would put ur Girl friend If possible... 6 Likes |

#5. They ask for an academic reference, and you list your pastor! Wrong. Or, they ask for a professional (work) reference, and you provide your godmother's name. Unless she was once your boss or senior colleague... that's wrong again. Pastor is good if they ask for a character/personality reference. Godmother (or family) is good if they need a reference to confirm your cooking or fufu-pounding expertise. 11 Likes |
