Another reference question...
The job I referenced in my post below (Hope is slipping away...) called! They want to move on to the next step, which is contacting my references. Yay!
They want me to provide 3 references - 1 supervisor, 2 colleagues. Would a former professor work for the "supervisor" reference? I was her graduate assistant in school, and she was on my thesis committee. My current boss would be better, but I don't want him to know I'm looking for another job until I have an offer in hand, for obvious reasons.
For the colleague/coworker references, I have one former coworker in mind (she got a new job a few months ago), but I'm not sure where to find the other one. Would someone I went to grad school and T.A.ed with work? My current job is really my first "professional" job. I waited tables in school, but don't really think any of my coworkers from those jobs would make the best references. I have several professors who have acted as references in the past, but in this situation they would have all been "supervisors" rather than colleagues...right?
Help! H.R. requested that I have a list for him by Monday morning...and I'm stumped. I've never had a prospective employer specifically ask for "colleague" references before.
Re: Another reference question...
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
<a href="http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk121/behapybride/?action=viewI used a supervisor from college. They weren't a professor, she was a counselor, but she was called several times by HR and they didn't seem to have a problem with it.
Besides your friend who recently changed jobs, are there any other co workers who you are friendly with, or close to that you know won't say anything to the boss?
