References for prospective employers?

Is it really that important? Do people really wanna see a letter from somebody who is obviously quite biased, or they wouldn't have been asked for one in the first place! DUH! If that's the case, wouldn't I not need bother to have it on my resume?!

Most employers want 1 or sometimes 2 personal references they expect the rest to be professional/work references...........

current/former employers can only release truthful information about current/former employees......

the information they release may be good or BAD as long as what they release is truthful...,

if all you have is personal references because you have never worked before that is expected but you would be surprised how honest your friends will be when asked.........

i have contacted numerous personal references over the years and have been told by "friends and family" do NOT hire this person because... of all kinds of reasons.

don't assume your references will be any different if there is something negative to be said about you.
