references

I used an adviser from college, two clinical instructors and one personal reference. I used their work contact information. I do not believe it is faux pas either way to use home or work information, I would just give the best contact info I had.

Best of luck!!

Use the inforamtion that the refrence prefers.

ie., Ex- boss A- Wk num, Wk address, home address.

co worker D- home number (please call after 5pm).

Agree with above posts and take it a step further. I ask if it's ok to list them as reference and I ask them to tell me how they would respond to certain questions. I'd rather have two excellent references than three mediocre ones, so I also consider their telecommunication skills. I've gotten several calls from prospective employers of others who listed me as a reference without telling me. Some of them, if they'd have asked would have gotten, "I prefer you ask someone else". I don't say anything negative, but a "I cannot comment on this" from the source chosen by the applicant is pretty negative in itself. I believe personal references are ok as long as they have some relevance. For instance, a sunday school teacher could attest to reliability. Again, ask yourself what a prospective employer is looking for and taylor you choice of references to match this.
