Preferred term

references for employment  

Definition

  • Although much more is written about effective résumés and interviewing, written or oral statements about an individual's suitability for a position, commonly referred to as references, should not be underestimated as tools in the job search process. In fact, references may well tip the scale in favor of an applicant in a job interview or in the making of a job offer. [Source: Encyclopedia of Career Development; References for Employment]
