Yes, you can use professors as job references if they are familiar with your work ethic and abilities. It is important to ask for their permission before listing them as a reference.
Yes, professors are considered professional references as they can provide insight into a student's academic abilities, work ethic, and character.
It generally depends on the nature and level of the job. References can be very important to your success in gaining a particular job. As references provide a first-hand recount of your skills and reliablity, the quality of your references can weigh heavily if you're going in for something high-paying.

Yes, you can use an old letter of recommendation when applying for a job, but it is generally recommended to use more recent references to provide the most up-to-date information about your skills and qualifications.
It is very unlikely that an employer will check your references once you have started the job. Anything is possible, but I can't imagine why the employer would do this at that point. If a prospective employer plans on checking references, it will usually be done after you have been interviewed but before you have been offered the job. As soon as someone wants you out (boss or co-worker),k if they have access, they will use it against you.
The job application should have an area where they request for your references. If not then they don't want them. If you are filling out your resume then only put long term, job relevant work on the resume.
Resume, references, and-depending on the job-pieces of your portfolio.
Most references should be professional references unless otherwise asked for. They can be: employers vendors customers distributors suppliers Someone who has worked with you and can vouch for your skills/experience on the job.
Absolutely; and references need not be included in the resume at all. Rather it is more usual to simply end the resume with the statement that "References are available upon request." If the employer asks you to fill out a job application, that form usually has a place to list references.
