Q: In my recent job my boss was very mean to me but shewould always do it in a nice way. I quit a couple monthsago and now I am looking for a new job and I need experienceto be able to work where I want to apply for. Should I put themdown as a reference? After I quit, and she wasn't very happywith it? Do they usually even call the references?
A: In my experience, it has been very rare that they do call references. But a friend of mine has been called as a reference. You could call your old boss and ask if she would be willing to speak on your behalf. If you were a good worker and she was happy with you, and also if she is very professional, then she wouldnt mind speaking on your behalf. You have to be honest with yourself about how things were when you left. Also, give people the option of saying no, because that could really hurt your employment process.
Q: hi, i was asked by a potential employer to provide 4 references. At least 2 of them have to be work related. Can someone please clarify what is an acceptable work reference/personal reference?I am planning to use my former manager, and a co-worker as work related references, and 2 friends as personal references. Also is there anything i should consider when choosing a reference? what types of questions do they generally ask references? i am applying for a bank job.
A: your choices are fine.work related is what it is, work related.and same with the other references.looks like you got it right.and as for what you should look for?your good friends are the ones to put down, if there a good friend they will give good answers about you!and as for work related, your boss and superiors are the best.so yup, you got it all looks like. why do you have a question?

Can you please give me the format to reference a picture please, I already know how to reference a book using the Harvard method just not the pictures, thanks!Thanks Chris, now what happens if it is a photgraph of a real thing like a landscape or something?
A: Taken from "The Harvard system of referencing (Page 7):Image(s) within a book ARTIST (Year). Title of the work [Material types]. At or In: (where found, for example in a bookor museum). IN: AUTHOR/EDITOR of book. (Year). Title. Place of publication: Publisher.e.g. MASOLINO, T. (1427) The Temptation of Adam and Eve [Painting]. In: BRUCEMITFORD, M. (1996). The Illustrated Book of Signs and Symbols. London: DorlingKindersley
Q: So I have a reference that is actually by ENOTHE, but it found it in my COT book. So in text, how would i put it? Would I say that COT says it on page whatever (so like According to COT (2010, pxii))? Or would I have to put something about ENOTHE? And then would the reference in the biblography just be the COT book as normal?

Q: Harvard Referencing. Trying to cite an image that I've used in an essay. The book is an artist's book with illustrations, there is no text whatsoever. I have the reference of the book and was planning on referencing with Untitled Image, and then the details of the book, but I'm not sure what to do about the date. I can't find out anywhere when the work was produced. Thanks...Thankyou both, I guess either would work!
A: use untitled image for the name and just leave out the date, if there is no date then you just leave it out. That is what you do for books too.
Q: For example, I wish to give a source for a study in the introduction against a contradictory study. However, I wish to elaborate on both studies further on in the essay.Do I reference eg (ezydriver, 2009) both times, or just the first and assume that the reader will know I've already referenced and therefore know who, and what, I'm talking about the second time, further on in the essay?
A: Harvard System of Referencing GuideThe Harvard system is the most frequently used referencing style at UWE. Despite this, there is no agreed 'standard' for referencing all resources.Remember, references should always be correct, complete and consistent. Titles of books, reports, journals etc. can be italicised or underlined. Whichever you choose, be consistent.http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htmhttp://www.swinburne.edu.au/lib/researchhelp/harvard_system.htmhttp://education.exeter.ac.uk/dll/studyskills/harvard_referencing.htmhttp://www.uwe.ac.uk/library/resources/general/info_study_skills/harvard2.htm
Q: In other words im making a point that required a small bit of detail in parentheses after it but i need to reference/cite that small point also and im not sure how to do that. Does it require another set of brackets within brackets?I am asking a question(on yahoo answers(reference)) or is there a better way to do it? I think we're using the Harvard system?
A: I've never heard of the Harvard system, and I'm a college librarian who teaches Information Literacy courses. Honestly, I would find a way to eliminate the parenthesis for the "small bit of detail." Just do it as a sentence, or put it after a dash, anything. Then put your citation after that. But, any good citation guide would tell you how to deal with this. Again, I have no idea what the Harvard system is. If you can get hold of a Chicago Manual of Style, however, I almost always find what I'm looking for in there. They may cover a situation like this.
Q: Hi, I am writing a paper, and want to reference something from one of my sources. However the bit that I am referencing was already used as a reference from another piece within the source that I am referencing. LOL Does this make sense? I want to know if I should reference my source, or the source that was used in my source lol. Thanks!
A: Example: (Smith 45, cited in Harrison 22)This means that Harrison is citing page 45 of Smith's article or book.Then in your bibliography you'd listHarrison, Frederick. _The Effect of Citric Acid on the Oesophagus._ New York: Wiley, 1999.or whatever..
Q: In other words, if you have never been employed before, who would you use as a reference on your employment application? I'm aware that family is not recommended.My only valid job reference is a resort in FL and i worked for the summer but was not on a payroll. I simply worked and was payed directly from my employer. That is only one of three references that i'm required to have.I want tips from experienced long-time workers.
A: At the beginning of your career, this is known. So bring in references from 3 teachers or 3 folks that you babysat for or helped out.Bring in 3 personal references too.Just be honest about your lack of experience. In many entry level jobs, this is exactly what they want, as they want to train you to their way of doing things.
Q: I've seen many people reference "shady or sketchy" things that celebrities are asked to do to achieve mega fame status but I've never found anyone who could answer what specifically those things are. Is anyone more familiar with this? Just curious.
A: Nothing. The "Illuminati" is a watered-down version, if it still exists, of an organization from the Middle Ages. If the organization still exists, it certainly doesn't concern itself with the activities of "celebrities".
