Most corporations have policies that restrict references due to liability issues.
Limited information like name, job title, and employment dates might be confirmed
by HR staff.
But you can still call on former bosses, coworkers, direct reports,
business associates, suppliers, etc.
Questions your references may be asked include:
1. How long have they known you?
2. What was or is their relationship to you?
3. What do they know of your major accomplishments?
4. Do they know why you left past positions?
5. What are your strengths and your development needs?
6. Did you get along well with others?
7. Are they able to forecast your future job potential?
It’s okay to “coach” your references. In fact you must always coach references!
