Best Answer

Use someone that has current knowledge of your skills and abilities. Your suppervisor is the best since they were the one to evaluate you. If that is not an option use others in the organization who can speak inteligently and fairly on your job perfoprmance. Many companies prohibit anyone, aside from HR, to speak to anyone.

Unless an employer asks for references to be on there, they really shouldn't be showing. The reason is because they won't generally check them until you get closer to being offered the job or have started. And putting "Available upon request" isn't needed either. It's a given! Of course they're available if one asks because nobody would say no. When making your resume, it's a good idea to not reference anyone. (The place you applied at)They might not hire you and take advantage of the people you referenced on your resume. So for my resume I would write. References: Available upon request.

References are important- choose wisely. Coworkers, supervisors...anyone who can speak to your work performance are the best references. For students, that may be a professor or instructor of some sort.

If you are unsure about what your references will say about you, have them checked by a company like reference-check.com or allisontaylor.com before using them. It can save a lot of headache... you can lose out on a job because your contact provides a lukewarm reference.

A reference on a resume is someone who would recommend you to that job.

Someone who gives you credit and would recommend you to someone.

If you need a reference for a job, you need to contact a person that has worked with you and that will give you a good reference.

No, maybe you should stop playing league all day and go outside to meet real people so you can get an actually reference.
