·         Reference as I believe is a very important tool for getting jobs! The reference gives an opportunity for people to get a job, for studies, etc. Reference is stated to be necessary for going into any field be it into top mnc's, companies, etc....this is important as the onus of the person's capability or eligibility will depend on the reference person!

·         Certain people to recruit theperson’s of their community or tribe or nativity also use reference unlawfully. One company i came across where the state although is different but the people being recruited were mostly from the state from which the reference came! This dual tactics and internal backdoor recruitments should be strictly condemned.

• Reference is like giving information about a candidate or recommending a candidate whom he /she know or whom he/she feels eligible. And now a day it plays a major role in getting a job.

• References--A word in the resume that helps many persons to get good jobs in good companies. Nowadays it plays a vital role. I had its experience recently. I went to a company having a good name in India as well as abroad. I met the receptionist and I told her that I wanted to meet HR for project purpose. She asked me am I having any reference.
• She gave me  a form and told me to first start with the reference that I have. But I didn't have anyone’s. I was in an impression that I will have to give the aptitude and the interview and then they will give me project. But then even though i was having good marks and knowledge was of no use as the only reason was i was not with anyone's reference. I totally disagree with this kind of system.
•  I know many guys not having any knowledge and doing projects in firms like TCS only because they have reference. And it really makes difference. I think this needs to be changed.
