When a reference request sends you scrambling every time

The recruiter asked for three references by tomorrow and I felt my stomach drop. I scrolled through my contacts trying to think of anyone who'd vouch for me, then fired off some awkward texts hoping they'd say yes and say something good. Every time this comes up I'm scrambling at the last minute.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

When someone asks for references, you scramble at the last minute and hope whoever you list says something good.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
