How do you tell someone you listed as a reference?

When you give out references to a company, as soon as possible (that day), send your references an email (or call them), let them know who you gave their name to, the company and what the position is you are applying for.

Who should I use as a reference?

Consider these eight people when making your reference list:

  • Recent bosses.
  • Co-workers.
  • Professors.
  • Friends… but only if they’re a professional reference.
  • Group members.
  • Any place you’ve volunteered.
  • The person you babysat for or whose lawn you mowed every summer.
  • High school teacher or coach you still talk to regularly.

Should I use my current boss as a reference?

First of all, unless the job posting specifically states so, do not attach your references when applying for a job. If you do, there is a risk the employer will call one or more of these references before you even know if you really want the job. If so, it is fine to omit your current employer.

Can a reference stop you getting a job?

As long as it’s fair and accurate, a reference can show that you’re not suitable for a job. For example, a reference can show you do not have enough experience for a job or say that you were dismissed.

Can a bad reference cost you a job?

Without the right people to endorse your skills, work ethic, and experience, you could be jeopardizing your dream job. Don’t let a bad reference keep you from getting the job. Sometimes the best resume, smartest cover letter, or even the strongest interview skills are not enough to persuade an employer to hire you.

Who can you use as a reference if you’ve never worked?

Here’s who to include instead:

  • Your Favorite Professor. Depending on how big your graduating class was, you may have a few professors you can think to ask, or you may have just one.
  • The Family Member or Friend You’ve Done Work For.
  • An Older Student You Shared a Class With.
  • A Leader From Your Past.
