Advice re: References
Here's the situation: I've been at the same job for quite a while now (since after college). I'm starting to look for something new and there is a job at our local University open that I'm interested in. The job requires three references to submit an application. I know two people where I currently work that I could ask and feel comfortable. I need a third so here's the situation:
I don't work in the same field as my degree is in but while at college, I developed a good relationship with one of my professors who ended up being promoted to head of division in the University. We had seen each other in social settings and been friendly but have since lost touch (about two years). Is it appropriate for me to send him an e-mail reconnecting and asking to use him a reference for this job?
On a side note, we also just moved onto his street but haven't run into each other yet..
Re: Advice re: References
Ask your old professor about being a Referance. It is best to have both personal and profesional references (3 of each) but certainly not nesesary. If you can't get three profesional references get a personal one. Be sure to label them accordingly.
Eta: Good Luck!
