@dualitydiva: I seriously HATE 2026 and these new job requirements because wtf do you mean you can’t tell me if I got the job or not because OTHER people didn’t back me up like please be so for real #jobmarket #interview
I hate references because honestly I don’t want 3-4 people in my damn business! 😂

Personally if the jobs minimum pay doesn’t start at $30 an hour and a senior level or above position, there’s no reason for references.

References are so stupid! No one needs to know I’m applying to other jobs

Like who keeps in contact with old coworkers? Especially you had jobs where people were being aggressive, racist, or harassing you. Then who are you gonna put?

Meanwhile there’s companies requiring 3 references on the INITIAL APPLICATION before even making it through to the first round.

References is such an outdated process. They do background checks that's all they need.

I stopped providing references before an offer. A conditional offer can be contingent on satisfactory references, but I’m not asking people in my professional network to repeatedly complete reference checks just for me to possibly get hired.

In 2026 these companies need to improve the hiring process and not 3 or 4 separate interviews

Then the assessment literally takes up 30-45 minutes of their day

What really gets me is when they ask for references upfront on the initial application. Who do y’all think y’all areeeee?!

I don’t think we need it for jobs but instead relationships. I need 3 exes to give me honest review

Soul Stealer Marie :
I don't understand what the point of references is when they can just call your previous employer and verify your information. Why do they need to talk to a coworker and a family member!?

Why can’t the background check be enough? If I’m following up with you then clearly I’m trying to work!

Someone just called me and said so and so put you down as a reference 🤣🤣🤣. The problem is I didn’t know who so and so was 🤣🤣🤣🤣!

In the uk a reference is just this person worked here from a date to z date as this role. It’s illegal to add opinions about the candidate. Its absurd to ask for more than that

I have zero references! I usually go to work and mind my own damn business. It’s as simple as that.
