I came upon this wording doing an online job application.
"Please provide three references. Do not include:
� 1. Relatives
� 2. Current or former employers
� 3. Current or former supervisors"
Now items 1 and 3 are clear to me but item 2 confuses me.
Does this mean do not include coworkers? �If so, doesn't this
basically leave one with friends who are not relatives? �This isn't
for a sales position (with a territory) or other job that requires a
large network of contacts to be successful - aka business associates.
It leaves people such as:-
Former schoolteacher [1], or university tutor.
Vicar/priest
Friends
Influential friends of your parents [1]
Landlord
People with whom you do regular business.
[1] �I used both of these methods when applying for a job, when I was 32
years old (14 years after leaving school). I remained a strong personal
friend of my Physics master, until his death. Business associates of my
Father were also happy to write a reference for me.
That's a quite comprehensive list, however it leaves out some very
important people:
1. your parole officer
2. your shrink
3. your ex(es) including your exes-in-law.
