    Came across a job application on a website for a corporate gig that asks for 3 references. Do places really call references when you provide a portfolio too?

    Can I put a friend and just give them a head's up?

    Don't want to hand out former client numbers.

    • Last week I found a job application asking “What are your references? Share with us 3 websites, 3 magazines, and 3 advertising campaigns, that you love”. Nuts.sr_rosa

    • References for a job are completely idiotic. You gotta get some random fucking stranger's opinion on me? What does that achieve?section_014
    • No one's gonna give you a shit reference. Plus, what about when you've been somewhere for 10 years without a bunch of freelance?section_014
