I'm going to tell you a couple of things you already know. Good references are people who:

- Know you professionally or scholastically
- Are not related to you
- Will say something nice about you
- Will do so repeatedly for the next few years of your job search

That last bit is the problem. A lot of people might be happy to say something nice about you once or twice, but it becomes a drag after a while. I'm just getting tired thinking about it. But the thing is, everyone NEEDS a reference!

- Jobs
- Volunteer opportunities
- RENTAL contracts
- Adopting a DOG!

The list goes on! So, who are you going to pick to have people call incessantly about how nice you are and what a good employee/community member/renter/dog owner you are! I know it's just about having friends, but... Really? What this amounts to is that I need to give out a thank you gift to every who has been my recommendation these past few years... seriously.

I've never needed a reference for anything yet, but I always thought you're supposed to give them a thank you gift every time they give you a reference.
