Job Referencing Interview Question:

Why should you think strategically about reference choices?

Submitted by: Administrator

You want the people who will make the strongest recommendations for you. Former supervisors do not have to be references, especially if they did not know all your accomplishments or you fear they will not have glowing things to say about you. Sometimes former co-workers or supervisors in other departments who know your work, make the best choices. Again, the key is people who know your strengths and abilities and who will say positive things about you.
