Job Referencing Question:
Why should you get permission to use someone as a reference?
Answer:
Before you even think of listing someone as a reference, be sure and ask whether the person would be comfortable serving as a reference for you. Most people will be flattered or at least willing to serve as a reference but you still need to ask to be sure. Be prepared for a few people to decline your request for whatever reason.
