Pamela and all.....

It can be difficult to keep track of potential references and find them
later on!  One thing that I've done is procure a letter of reference or two
immediately upon leaving a position (or acquire it once they know I'm
leaving). That way I have it and don't have to track someone down in the
future.

Another idea is to check with your university/college to see if they have a
placement or file service office.  I am fortunate to have a placement file
at the File Services office of Northwestern University -- where they keep my
letters of reference, an updated copy of my resume and curriculum vita.
(When I ask people to write letters of reference on my behalf, they usually
send them directly to Northwestern for my file there.)  When I apply for a
job I send out my CV, resume and a cover letter of interest.  Then I email
or call the office at Northwestern University and request "x" number of
references and give them the names of the references that I want sent out
and to whom -- which they in turn do within a day or two.  It has worked out
quite well!

Hope this helps!

Subject: References- where are they?


Here's another question connected to the reference question- what if you
have
lost track of a former supervisor and the application asks for references,
including that supervisor. Any advice?

formerly with NASM- she did the Star Wars and Star Trek exhibit- is, please
let me know! I need her for a reference!)
