Job Applications and References

Question 23 • 26-27 SAS Ignite Career Planning and Development - EL4222

Which of the following would be the least effective reference?

Answer
A
Your boss at your part-time job
B
Your grandfather who is a small business owner
C
Your neighbor for whom you do odd jobs
D
Your guidance counselor

Explanation

A strong reference should be someone who can describe your skills and work habits objectively. Your grandfather may know you well, but as a family member he could seem biased, making him less effective as a reference than your boss, neighbor, or guidance counselor. The least effective reference is your grandfather who is a small business owner.
