How to Pick a Good Job Reference

You know you’re nearing the final stretch of an interview process (and that it’s looking good for you) when a potential employer asks these three questions:

  1. When would you be available to start? (Or, how much notice do you need to give your current employer?)
  2. Can we get you set up for your physical and drug screen?
  3. Will you please provide us with a list of professional references we may contact?

Question number three can rattle even the strongest of candidates if you’re not prepared to respond swiftly with names, titles, the nature of the relationship, and current contact information for however many people with whom they’d like to speak.

Don’t get caught in scramble mode at this stage of the game. Your prompt response and the quality of your references can take you the distance if you play this right.

Let’s begin.

Who Should I List (or Not List) as a Reference?

Generally speaking, your future employer wants to talk with the following people, in order of importance (depending on your role):

  1. Your current manager or supervisor
  2. Your prior managers or supervisors
  3. Your current peers or clients (if you’re interviewing for a client-facing role)
  4. Your prior peers or clients
  5. Your personal references or friends who will vouch for you

Number five, by the way, is a remote fifth place. Reserve this one for only those times you have few other options, and make sure to ask if it’s OK to include personal references before you do so. Also, if you’re a graduating college student (or recent grad), you can absolutely include professors who may be able to speak to your performance and work ethic.

Never (ever) include relatives, unless you happen to work directly for or with one. Oh, and absolutely don’t ever give a fake name and then commission your buddy to “pretend” to be your employer or peer. Recruiters are not stupid. Treat them so at your own peril.

Keep in mind that the primary reason why potential employers want to check your references is because they want a third party to vouch for your on-the-job performance and character. You can tout your greatness all day long in the interview, but it truly gels for decision makers when others tout it for you.

Should They Be on My Resume?

Nooooooo. Heavens, no. Not only do you not need to list out your references, you shouldn’t. It takes up unnecessary resume space, and there’s a remote chance that a recruiter may be more interested in, say, your manager (who you’ve listed) than he or she is in you. No need to hand over all of this information before you captivate him or her.

Likewise, no need to write out “References available upon request.” This is a given. When the hiring manager want them, he or she will ask for them. 100% of the time.

What If I’m a Covert Job Seeker?

This can be a tricky one. If you’re currently employed—and job searching on the sly—who can you trust in these final, important legs of a job transition? I can’t answer this one definitively because every situation is different, and the stakes can be quite high. Trust your gut.

Chances are, you aren’t going to be able to use your current manager as a reference. Certainly, consider enlisting former managers. But you should also think about asking one to two colleagues with whom you have a close personal bond (and established level of trust). If and when you ask them for this support, spell it out very clearly how important it is for you to keep your search under wraps—and the potential consequences for you if they blab.

Also, if you’re providing your potential employer with a relatively weak list of references, be sure and alert them that you’re aware of that, and explain why.

How Should I Ask?

I always encourage clients to approach potential references with specificity, instead of the old, “Hey, would you be willing to be my reference?” Do that, and you’re going to have to let the chips fall where they may in terms of what this person offers up. And along those lines, do this over the phone if possible. You’ll get a much better idea of how excited (or unexcited) this person is to help you.

Make sure to frame your request in a way that spells out the details of the role you’re pursuing, what you anticipate the caller is likely going to want to talk about, and how he or she can be the most helpful.

Example: “Because they’re going through so much change and restructuring right now, I’m guessing they’re going to want to make sure I have strong leadership skills and the ability to turn around struggling teams and programs. If you’re willing, I’d love for you to share some detail on the program we revitalized in 2014.”

Be specific, and also ask this direct question at the end of the call, “May I count on you to give me a favorable reference should the company contact you?”

Don’t assume your past co-worker or boss is going to sing your praises. You never know—she may be jealous of your opportunity here or feel like you dropped the ball on something last year. If you ask this question, you’ll either get a “Yes, of course you can count on me” or an awkward pause or waffle. Don’t list anyone who responds with the awkward pause or waffle. Lukewarm references can sink you in the home stretch.

Is There Anything I Should Provide My References With?

Ideally, provide them with a copy of the job description or an overview of the role and main responsibilities. If you can, also give them some background on the person you anticipate will be calling them, so that they can feel up-to-date and prepared for the conversation.

Also, if it’s someone you’ve used as a reference before (and you suspect would be fine being listed again), provide him or her with a heads-up. Don’t list people without giving them any indication that you’ve used them as a reference for this next opportunity. That’s rude, and it may annoy them to the point of not giving you a glowing review.

What Do I Do After They Are Contacted?

Honestly, you don’t always know when a reference has been contacted, but often times your people will follow up to let you know the conversation just took place.

What do you do? This one is easy—thank him or her, and offer to return the favor if it’s ever needed. And, when you land that job? Most definitely let each of your references know, and consider a small thank you gift, like a coffee gift card or lunch.

Get it right, take it the distance, and enjoy that amazing new gig in 2016.

The 12 best people to pick as job references

When you apply for a new job, you need a polished resume, a perfected cover letter, and a list of job references who you trust to speak to a potential employer. Some employers may ask for references during the application process while others may wait until your interview, but knowing the best people to pick as job references can make or break your chances of landing your dream job.

How do you know who to ask for a reference?

A good reference can work well to convince a potential employer that you’re worth hiring. Hearing the perspective of a person who has worked closely with you can give them insight that they may not glean from the information on your application that comes directly from you. 

The best people to pick as job references should:

  • Have knowledge of your work ethic.
  • Respect you.
  • Be well-spoken.
  • Agree to be listed as a reference.

You want to pick people who have worked alongside you and think highly enough of you to sing your praises to a hiring manager. (But no, you can’t pick your best friend or your mom — relatives and close personal friends are a hard pass.) 

So, where do you begin? Take a look at these 12 ideas to get your job reference list started. 

1. Your boss or supervisor

At the top of your list of job references should be a former or soon-to-be-former boss or supervisor — the more recent the better. This is someone who can speak directly to your skills and what it’s like to manage you.

Even if you didn’t have a great relationship with your old boss, there can still be value in their opinion for a new employer. Plus, leaving them off the list may look fishy (unless they don’t know you’re leaving, which you should explain in your interview) so it’s best to at least have a conversation with them and try to work things out if you can.

2. A trusted coworker

Coworkers can make particularly great references — they’re the ones who see you working up close and personal each day. They should be a person who is familiar with your actual work, though, not just a friendly face who chats with you at the water cooler. Pick someone who either worked directly with you, in your department, or whose work was impacted by your own.

3. Your former professor or educator

For recent graduates in particular, a professor or instructor can be a top choice for a reference. This is especially true if they teach a subject in the same field that you now hope to work in. Just make sure to pick an educator who has gotten to know you personally and not a professor for a class of 100 students who you’ve never spoken to directly outside of a few emails.

4. Someone you have volunteered for

Volunteer work looks great on a resume, especially if it’s consistent or somehow connected to your line of work. Their relationship with you is likely similar to that of a boss or professor, so you can definitely ask your volunteer coordinator or organization leader to be a job reference.

5. A former client

Depending on your line of work, you may have a former client or two who would be happy to provide a reference if asked. Clients who expressed appreciation for your work are ideal, especially if you will be expected to complete similar work in the role that you’re applying for.

6. Your former classmate

As a student, did you work closely with other classmates in a small group setting or for a semester project? If so, they might be able to provide a solid reference for you. Just make sure you ask a classmate who you got along with and who was appreciative of your efforts at the time.

7. Someone that you’ve volunteered with 

Much like a coworker, someone who you have volunteered alongside consistently over the years can usually speak to your level of commitment on the job, work ethic, and general demeanor. Again, volunteer work can be impressive to a potential employer, so this is another great way to work that angle. 

8. A professional connection

That friend you always run into at networking events and chat with on LinkedIn about your mutual love of cold-emailing can actually be a great reference. Especially if they work in a similar profession or are highly respected in their own profession, they’re likely to be able to speak to your own level of professionalism with ease.

9. A connection from your college internship

Think back to your college internship days. Were you particularly close to your internship’s director or adviser? Did you work alongside a respected professional who mentored you? Recent graduates especially should seek references from people they worked with during an internship.

10. A high school teacher or coach

If you were particularly connected to a teacher or coach in high school and have sustained a relationship beyond graduation, they can be a wonderful pick for a job reference. Particularly when applying to a business in your hometown or if your professional references are few and far between, this is a solid option.

11. Your old school counselor

Whether they worked with you through high school or college, school counselors with who you developed a report would likely give you a glowing reference if you list them. After all, their main goal is to help their students (and former students) succeed. They probably get this request often though, so be sure to give them plenty of notice should you require a formal letter of recommendation.

12. Anyone else who knew you when you were just starting out

Were you a lifeguard or babysitter in the summers growing up? Did you file mail for a local real estate agent when you were in college or run a newspaper route in your town? Anyone who hired you for these odd jobs when you were young and has known you for years since can tell the hiring manager about your level of commitment and work ethic.

You made your reference list. So, what’s next?

After you decide who you’d like to list as job references, you have to ask for their permission. How you ask someone to be a reference will depend on your relationship with them, but this is definitely easier to do once you know who you’re asking. 

Once you have their permission, make sure that you have your references’ updated contact information including their phone number and email address ready to go. Now, when your recruiter asks, “May I call your references?” you’ll definitely be prepared.

Professional References: Who You Can & Cannot Use

Who can I use for a job reference? 

Dos and don’ts with professional references

When you’re applying for a new job, the job application or recruiter may ask you to provide a professional reference sheet or list along with your resume. Or, if you’re being considered for a position after an interview, you may be asked to share references then. 

So, what exactly are references and who should you use? How do you ask someone to be a reference and how do you list them for a job? We’re going to break it down for you.

A professional reference is a person who can provide a recommendation or confirm your qualifications for a position. These people should be able to attest to your work ethic, skills and achievements in your past roles. By using people who can give specific examples of your work, credentials and reliability, you are giving your potential new employer great reasons to hire you. 

You may need to include a list of professional references when applying for a job, in addition to your resume and/or cover letter. Or, you may be asked to provide references during or after a job interview. Either way, it’s important to be prepared and have a list on hand and ready to go when the time comes. 

There are a number of people you can select as a professional reference, and they may vary depending on where you’re at in your career.  

Think about the job you’re applying for and the qualifications you need to get hired. Choose references who can attest to those job skills. Good examples of professional references include:

  • College professors, coaches or other advisors (especially if you’re a recent college graduate or don’t have a lengthy work history)

  • Former employer (the person who hired and paid you)

  • Former supervisor (this person may have trained you, overseen your work, provided you with role instruction or direction, dictated your day-to-day tasks, etc.)

  • Former coworkers.

  • Clients (this could be something you do on your own, such as babysit, dog walk, house sit, etc. Or, it could be people who you provide your professional services to, if you’re a hairdresser, landscaper, dog groomer, etc.).

  • Volunteer organization leaders

Just as there are several options for who you should list as a professional reference, there are also examples of people you should never list. Examples of this include:

  • Family

  • Friends

  • Anyone who fired you/any employer you were fired from

  • Anyone not expecting a call

  • Your cousin’s friend’s daughter’s boyfriend

  • A famous person you don’t know

The goal is to choose professionals who can attest to your work ethic and explain to someone why you’re best for the job. Even if you have a coworker who is more of a friend than a coworker, you may want to avoid listing them. Listing the above as references may actually hurt your chances of being hired more than help.

Depending on the position you’re applying for, the application or interviewer may ask for a list of personal or character references. This is just like it says—personal. These people should be able to speak to who you are as an individual, so they should be someone you know relatively well. You want them to be able to share your personality and character with a potential employer.  

While it’s a good idea to have a list of personal references just in case, you should only share them if specifically asked. Good examples include:

When reading an application or speaking with an interviewer, make sure you read carefully and you’re clear whether they would like professional or personal references. That way you can provide them with the exact references they’re looking for, and the best ones to help you get the job. In most cases, they’ll request professional references.

Some job applications or interviewers may request you list your current employer and ask if they have permission to contact them. In most cases, this could be awkward for both you and your current employer. You probably don’t want your employer to know you’re looking for a new job until you know you want the job and you’ve been given an offer.

Most of the time, it’s understood that you won’t include your current employer as a reference for confidentiality reasons. However, you could share their name and contact information once a formal offer is made.  

If you feel comfortable and trust them, you are welcome to list current coworkers as references. Sometimes they may be the most qualified to answer questions about your responsibilities and skills. However, only do so if you feel confident in providing that person’s information. 

The key here is to always make sure you ask someone if you can list them as a job reference, and check in each time you list them. Ensure they are comfortable accepting the role of being a reference. 

Even if you asked them a while ago but are getting back into job searching again, give them a heads up you’re searching again and they may be hearing from someone soon. 

A good way to ask someone to be a reference is either by calling them or sending an email. Ask if they think they know you and/or your work well enough to speak about it, and if they feel comfortable doing so. Or, you could ask them if they feel comfortable giving a positive reference. By asking ahead of time, you give them the opportunity to turn it down if they don’t believe they can or don’t have the time to speak to someone.

Be sure to thank the person in advance for taking the time to talk to a potential employer, and update them on your job status if you get hired. You may also want to ask if they can remain a reference for you in the future should you ever need one. Again, don’t forget to let them know each time you start up your search and list them so they’re aware they may be contacted.

When you apply for jobs or go to an interview, have a copy of at least three references with you. Even if the interviewer doesn’t ask for it, you should offer it up before you leave and encourage them to call. When you list the references, you should include:

Reference Name, Reference Relationship

Company Name

Company Address

Reference Phone Number

Reference Email

Some people list references directly on their resume. While you can do this, it’s better to have a separate reference sheet. This can help ensure your current employer doesn’t get notified—directly or indirectly—that you’re looking for a new job before you’re ready to share it with them.

You may also have a letter of reference or recommendation from a previous employer. You can provide it, along with your reference list, with a job application or upon request after an interview. It’s always a good idea to ask an employer to write you a letter of reference (if you leave on good terms) so you have it to use in the future.

If you’re looking for a new job, you know how difficult it can be to get your foot in the door. It’s a harsh truth, but most resumes simply go in the trash without the applicant getting the time of day.

To stand out you need a solid resume, including a professional reference page.

This article will cover what employment references are, who to have as a professional reference, and the types of professional references to help you create an excellent reference page for your job applications.

What is a reference for a job application?

A professional job reference is a person who can testify to your qualifications for a position. A reference can provide insight into your work ethic, skills, and abilities.

Most prospective employers will ask for at least three references when considering you for a position. So, it’s important to choose your references carefully.

Why is a professional reference important?

The hiring manager doesn’t know you, and they only have limited information to work with. One job posting can receive over 250 resumes, and this makes finding the right candidate a competitive process.

A professional reference could set you apart.

Employers are looking for reassurance that they’re making the right decision. They also want to know if the skills and experience listed on your resume are accurate. A professional reference can confirm your story.

Why do employers ask for professional references?

Your professional reference will give recruiters insight into how you work in a team, how you perform under pressure, and whether you’re reliable. The right reference will give you credibility and act as a review of your work performance.

Who to include as a job reference

When choosing references, selecting people who can speak to your qualifications for the specific job you’re applying for is important. For instance, if you’re applying for a job in customer service, you should choose a reference who can attest to your friendly and prompt service.

The typical job seeker only writes one resume during their search, which is a mistake. If you do that, your references and experience won’t help your potential employers understand why you’re a good fit for that particular position. So edit your resume and highlight relevant references for each position. Of course, you should also select potential references with whom you have a good relationship and who will speak positively about you.

(Image Source)

It’s also recommended to make sure that your references are aware that you’re using them as a reference. This way, they’re ready to answer any questions that a potential employer may have.

Avoid using friends or family members as references and opt for previous colleagues, teachers, or coaches instead.

Types of professional references

Personal Character reference

A personal reference is an individual who can attest to your personal qualities, such as your integrity or work ethic. These individuals can be community leaders, volunteers, or sports coaches.

Work reference

A work reference is a person who can speak to your professional qualifications and experience. They should have experience working with you in a professional capacity. An excellent work reference would be a previous employer, co-worker, or client.

Academic reference

An academic reference is a person who can speak to your academic qualifications. These individuals could be professors, academic advisors, or school administrators. They should be able to attest to your intelligence, work ethic, and ability to succeed in an academic setting.

When creating your professional reference list, be sure to include a mix of different types of references. This will give the hiring manager a well-rounded view of who you are as a person and a professional.

How many references should you have?

Sometimes the job application will indicate how many references you need. If you’re unsure, aim for three quality references.

If you are applying for a management role in a highly competitive field, consider expanding this list to five.

The order that you list these contacts matters. Start with the most influential person, such as a boss or teacher.

How to choose your professional references

The quality of your professional references is important. You should only choose people who will increase your chances of getting a new job.

When compiling your list of professional references, keep the following five tips in mind.

1. Determine the type of role you want

The first question you should consider is, “what type of role are you looking for?”

Your reference doesn’t always have to match the job, but they should be able to match the required skill sets.

For example, you may be searching for a position in retail, and your reference could comment on your teamwork, customer service, integrity, and cash handling skills.

You may have a list of potential references that you can mix and match, depending on the position you are applying for.

2. Consider individuals you may know at the organization

Don’t be afraid to use your connections. If you know people who work at the company, ask them whether they’ll vouch for you.

People are usually happy to help a friend, but they will need to feel confident that they can recommend you. They will be putting their reputation on the line, so ensure you have a good relationship.

3. Identify connections between your network and a company employee

If there is a company you have your eye on, ask your network whether they know anyone who works there. Networking can be beneficial. Getting a job often equates to “who you know.”

You can start by browsing the Jobcase community of people or check LinkedIn for connections who work for the company you’d like to get hired at.

Having a reference that the hiring manager knows and trusts can help boost your chances of landing the gig.

4. Consider the length of your relationship with the individual

Recommending a candidate is a big responsibility. You should consider how long you’ve known the person you want to put forth as a reference and the type of relationship you have.

For example, if you worked with an individual for one week back in 1999, they won’t have much to say. They might not even remember you.

But if you’ve worked closely with a co-worker and supported each other in the workplace, they could be a good choice for a professional reference.

5. Consider what they might say about you

92% of recruiters will do a background check before making a hiring decision, and this process includes calling references.

A professional reference may look impressive on your resume, but what will they say about you? The goal is to have positive feedback, but you shouldn’t assume they’ll give you high praise.

Before you apply for your next job, let your reference know they might receive a phone call. You should ask them how they would feel about recommending you.

The top 3 people to use as a professional reference

One glowing reference from a professional can bear more weight than multiple weak references.

So who should you ask? Here are the top three people to consider.

1. Managers you have recently worked with

Managers have authority and usually understand what employers are looking for. If you have a good relationship with a current or previous manager, consider asking them to be your reference.

Try to find someone who’s been your direct supervisor in the workplace. If they’ve witnessed you in action and can pinpoint specific examples of where you excelled, it will be sure to impress any hiring manager.

2. Work colleagues who understand your previous role

Work colleagues often make good references because they’ve had an ongoing working relationship with you. They’ve seen you on a day-to-day basis and can comment on your personal qualities, responsibilities, teamwork, and any tasks you may have performed.

Before you ask a work colleague, think about whether they’ve recently had a positive working experience with you.

3. Academic professionals who know your capabilities

While academic references are often used for internships and school or training programs, they can also support a traditional job application.

Professors and teachers are reputable references. They may have taught you or worked side-by-side on a research project.

Remember, academic references can be in writing and should be from someone that can verify your work ethic. They should still include contact information in case the potential employer has any follow-up questions.

Who shouldn’t you use as a professional reference?

Even though the reference list comes at the end of a resume, that doesn’t mean it isn’t important. You should take care to choose the right people, as their recommendation could be the difference between you and another candidate.

Look for references you’ve worked with recently and avoid anyone who may have something negative to say.

(Image Source)

A professional reference should be a person you’ve worked with — not a friend, neighbor, or family member.

What if you don’t have references for an application?

Most people will have someone they can ask to be on your reference list, even if they don’t have any work experience. Consider whether there is a coach, community leader, or teacher who may be able to put in a good word for you.

Alternatively, you can network by seeking out other professionals.

For example, you might consider volunteering or enrolling in a short course. These types of activities will enhance your resume and give you opportunities to meet potential references.

Remember to update your job references periodically

It’s important to keep your references updated and to select ones relevant to the job you’re applying for. Don’t forget to contact your references periodically to let them know that you’re still using them as a reference and to update them on your latest career accomplishments.

Do you have a list of references ready to provide to prospective employers? If not, line up references who can speak to your credentials and qualifications for a job, so you’re prepared when you’re asked for them.

It’s always a good idea to have a list of references ready to provide to hiring managers when you’re job searching. It’s also important to contact your references for permission to use them and to advise them that they may be contacted. This way, you won’t have to round up a list of reference givers at the last minute.

Have a list of three or four people who can vouch for your expertise and qualifications ready to share with prospective employers.

When and Why Employers Want References

During the job application process, you will most likely be asked for references who can attest to your qualifications. The company may want to verify your credentials and speak to your reference givers to gauge your ability to do the job well.

Typically, this request occurs either when you submit your job application or later in the application process, when the hiring manager is close to making their decision.

The employer will typically specify how many references to include on your list, as well as what contact information you need to provide for each reference.

You will need to format your list of professional references either to include with your application materials, give to the interviewer, or else to email to the hiring manager later on in the hiring process. The employer will typically advise you on how and when to provide references.

As with all communication with a potential employer, from cover letters to thank-you notes, your list of references should be formatted professionally, easy to read and understand, and free of any typos or errors.

What to Include on a Reference List

When you provide a list of professional references to an employer, you should include:

  • Your name at the top of the page.
  • List your references, including their name, job title, company, and contact information, with a space in between each reference.
  • Include at least three professional references who can attest to your ability to perform the job you are applying for.
  • If it’s not clear from your resume, you may also wish to include information about your relationship with the reference.

For instance, you could write, “Reference Name was my supervisor while I was an accountant at Smith Enterprises,” or “Reference Name is my current employer.”

Example of a Professional Reference List Format

Here’s how to format a list of professional references for employment or business purposes.

Before You Submit Your References

Listing your references on the page isn’t your last step in this process. If you haven’t already, ask permission from each of your references. It’s important only to submit the names of people who have agreed to serve as a reference.

Even if all of your references are happy to be on your list, it’s a good idea to provide a heads-up that someone may be reaching out to them to ask about you. This is a great opportunity to share some information about the job you’re applying for, provide some key points from your resume that you’d like them to emphasize, and generally remind them about your skills and accomplishments, especially if it’s been a while since you worked together.

Once you’ve done all that, review the list of references one last time to make sure there are no typos and that all contact information is correct and up to date. Here are some helpful proofreading tips for job seekers.

Tips for Getting and Submitting References

Who to Use as a Reference. Choosing who to ask for a reference is an important step in your application process. You will want to tailor your reference list, depending on the job for which you’re applying.

When possible, utilize references with connections to the company or industry to which you are applying.

It’s also helpful to use references who can attest to your qualifications for the particular job you’re applying to. With this in mind, it’s great if you can list people who have worked with you in a similar context.

How to Email a Reference List. When you’re emailing a reference list to an employer, name the file so that it’s easy to identify and easy for the hiring manager to keep track of. You may want to send it as a PDF file, so it retains the original formatting. Here’s how:

  • For Word Documents: click “File, Save As, PDF (.pdf)” to save your documents as PDF files.
  • For Google Docs files: click “File, Download, PDF (.pdf)” document. 
  • Save the files with your name, so they don’t get mixed up with other applicants’ materials, e.g., janeapplicant.pdf.

Give the Reference Giver an Opportunity to Decline. When you ask someone to give you a reference, it’s always a good idea to give them an opportunity to decline. While most people are happy to help colleagues out with references and recommendations, there may be personal circumstances or professional policies preventing them from doing so at a particular time.

Consider When to Use a Character or Personal Reference. Remember that there are also circumstances in which you might want to submit a character or personal reference (as opposed to a professional reference) who might be better able to speak to your abilities. This is especially true when you have limited work experience or are branching into a new field.

Professional References and The 4 Best People to Use

So, you got the interview and you think you did pretty well. Now what? Well, they’ll usually ask you for professional references. What is a professional reference? Who should you use as a reference? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We’ll show you what a professional reference is and show you the best people to use.


What is a Professional Reference?

A professional reference is someone your employer contacts who can vouch for you. They’re usually asked to verify that they worked with you and the information you gave them in your resume/interview.

Usually the last step before a company makes an offer is checking your professional references. Think of it as online reviews for a product or service.

You found the product, it looks pretty decent and you’re almost ready to buy. What do you do right before you put in your credit card info? You usually check the reviews to ensure you’re receiving a quality product. It’s pretty much the same for an employer looking to hire someone, they check your professional references to ensure you make a good hire.

Almost a third of employers reported that a bad hire will cost the company over $50,000. With that much hanging on the line, employers really depend on references to vouch for you. For that reason, you need to ensure you use the right references.

Who to Use as a Reference?

1. Boss or manager

The best professional reference is a former (or current) boss or manager. A hiring manager trusts your former boss over any other reference as they’re usually able to provide an unbiased review of you and your work ethic.

You should really reach out to your boss and ask if you can use them as a reference. We put together a good template you can use when asking others to be a reference.

One thing you should keep in mind is to ensure that whoever you’re listing is well-spoken, willing to. be a reference, and will speak of you positively. You, of course, wouldn’t list a boss who you didn’t get along with or one who fired you.

2. Colleagues

The next best thing to listing a boss is a former or current colleague. If you have a few different colleagues to list, pick those with a higher position and title. If you had to choose between a junior accountant and a senior tax adviser, you would of course go with the senior.

Also, as mentioned above, you want to pick someone who will speak highly of you and one who’s a great communicator. You don’t want your reference to be shy as they may have trouble articulating all your awesome qualities.

3. Professors

A professor is an awesome reference to have, especially if you’ve recently graduated or don’t have much work experience. However, if you graduated college over 10 years ago, your professors probably won’t be particularly good references.

4. Other well-known professionals

If you know someone who’s well known in the industry, or has a prestigious title, you can list them as a reference even though you haven’t worked with them. Make sure they can speak about you professionally as you don’t want to list someone who’s just going to say, “he’s a great guy” or “she’s wonderful.”

For example, listing a CEO who knows about you and your professional life is a good reference. Of course, this should be the last reference you include, try to include the most relevant references like a boss or colleague first.

5. Volunteer, Internships and Freelance Work

You can include a reference from volunteer and internship positions as well as clientele from freelance work. This is especially helpful for those who don’t have much work experience.

If you include a client from freelance work you performed, ensure that they’re a professional company and relevant. For example, a web developer who lists a founder of a startup he did some programming work for is a good example.

So, to recap on the best people to use as a reference:


People You Shouldn’t Use as a Reference

1. Friends and Family Members

Friends and family members don’t make good references for a job application. Unless the employer asks for a personal reference, you should never include someone from this group. Just think about it: the hiring manager wants some unbiased feedback about you and your professional life and a friend or family member is the worst person to get that from.

Don’t think an employer will be fooled by this, either. It becomes really obvious after a short conversation if your reference has actually worked with you in a professional setting or not.

You could include a colleague who you were friendly with, but just including a friend or family member who’s never worked with you will make you look unprofessional.

2. Fake References

Don’t tell your cousin Vinny to act like he’s the CEO of some bogus company. Hiring managers speak to tons of references and can usually tell a fake reference from a real one. Save yourself the embarrassment and possibility of ruining your reputation.

3. People Who May Speak Negatively

You (of course) shouldn’t list someone who may say something negative about you. You should already know if your reference will speak about you positively but if you just want to make sure, you can reach out to them and ask.

4. Irrelevant References

Here is where many job seekers go wrong: listing someone completely irrelevant will do you more harm than good. What do we mean by irrelevant?

Listing someone for who you worked as a babysitter 10 years ago when you’re applying for a financial analyst position is irrelevant. If you don’t have anyone else, we wrote a great post you may want to check out on other alternatives to when you don’t have any references.

Summary

So, to recap, here are the types of references you shouldn’t include:

Having professional references who are ready to put in a good word for you is super important. Remember not to list your references on a resume, but to have a reference page template ready if the employer asks.

Good luck with your job search!

Links. Why and how they work – articles about Internet marketing and the quality of incoming links, you will hear different answers, but all opinions will range from “substantially dependent” to “extremely highly dependent”.

Yes, more than half of successful site promotion depends on how willingly the owners and webmasters of other resources link to your site.

The logic of the search engines is clear: you can consider your website as relevant and useful as you like, but if others do not consider your site as such, they will not link to you. So, you should not put this site in the first positions in the search results. And vice versa – a lot of incoming links means that other webmasters consider your site worthy of mention, and perhaps a search engine user will also find it useful. Each link from another site to yours is a vote cast in your favor in the eyes of the search engine.

Based on the number and quality of links, Google also calculates such a notorious site evaluation criterion as PageRank. For every web page that Google finds on the web, it calculates a PageRank, or “importance score for that page.” This rating comes down to a scale of 1 to 10, and many experts believe that it significantly affects the distribution of places in the coveted first pages of Google search results.

Note: Since we will still encounter PageRank when describing the work on links, just in case, we recall that you can find out the PageRank of any page by installing the Google Toolbar, and more information about how PageRank is calculated and works can be obtained at the “technology” page and from the authors’ Page Rank article.

At first glance, the above opinions may seem depressing. After all, if the pages of our site are completely at our disposal, and we can change anything on them (i.e., achieve the optimal weight of keywords in the TITLE, URL, HTML headings and text), then work on the quantity and quality of external links in most cases – “dark forest”. After all, even having sent letters with a link exchange offer to a thousand sites, we cannot be sure that all of them will agree to link to us, and even more so – unilaterally. Even to predict the success of such a “campaign” in most cases is difficult.

However, when we understand the problem a bit, the link campaign will no longer seem so mystical and intimidating. It turns out that getting links from many useful sites is not so difficult, that a trained eye, a proven methodology and a system of criteria will help you immediately identify link partners with the greatest potential, and that you can always watch the leaders from the “top ten” to find out how best to build and run your own link exchange and acquisition campaign.

What are links and how do they work

First, let’s look at the types of links. Based on the way links are acquired, they can be divided into 4 types.

1. One-way links . As the name implies, a one-way link does not imply that you will place a reciprocal link from your resource to the partner’s site. Such links often appear spontaneously – the webmaster of another site visits your resource and decides to link to it, often without even notifying you about it. However, no one forbids taking the initiative in acquiring a one-way incoming link by writing to the webmaster of the desired site with a corresponding request. One-way links carry the most weight in the eyes of search engines because they are the hardest to get.

2. Bidirectional links . You offer a potential partner to place a link to his site (or say that you have ALREADY placed), and in return ask for a link from his site. Such links are already less valued by search engines when calculating the weight of your site than one-way links, since the exchange of links can indicate not only that you and your partner value each other’s sites as informative resources, but also that you simply agreed to exchange them in to artificially inflate the ranks of your pages. However, if all of your incoming links (or the vast majority of them) are one-way links, this too can trigger search engine spam protection algorithms, because you are most likely just in the business of buying one-way links. Two-way links are useful for diluting the picture a bit.

3. Paid links . Many sites do not trade links directly, however, by contacting them, it is quite possible to agree on the purchase of a link (if your resources, of course, are similar in subject matter and are not in direct competition at the same time). In addition, there are numerous so-called “link brokers” on the web who, for a fee, can take on the burden of finding potential link partners for you and buying links on your behalf. There are two pitfalls to keep in mind in this process: First, search engines are very negative about buying links, so sites that sell links “overtly” may already be on their “blacklists” and partnering with them can turn into trouble for you. . Secondly, link brokers often do nothing more than simply register your site in directories and indexes that you could easily get into on your own – for example, using programs like Web CEO Submission. For the link obtained in this way, they will take money from you. So before you use the services of a link broker, ask where exactly you will receive incoming links from.

4. Links from directories and content sites . Typically, directories like JoeAnt.com and dmoz.org are manually edited, and if you ask to add your site to a directory, the decision will be made by the person – editor responsible for the content of the directory or the corresponding category, and this decision will take a long time time. Some of these directories are free, others will make you pay to have your site indexed. In any case, directory pages have a high PageRank and are frequently visited by search engines. Therefore, provided that you register in a relevant category, a link from there will have a beneficial effect on your positions in search engines. Content resources (for example, WebProGuide.com) place a link to your site after you publish some content there, most often an article or review. It is not necessary that your article will get a high PageRank or good traffic – however, such resources are usually indexed regularly by search engines, so this is a good way to get a quality one-way link.

How to identify a link map of successful sites

and use it in preparing an action plan

Who do you think will be best able to tell you the most correct link exchange strategy and good potential link partners? Oddly enough, these are your competitors from the top ten! And they will do it without knowing it. The logic is simple – if their strategy helped them to reach high positions, then, more than likely, a similar strategy will help you too. The problem here is – how to collect information about all competitors’ link partners together, and find out which of them are most effective in helping leading sites.

There are two ways to go.

  • Go to one of the search engines that provides the service of reporting on incoming links to the site (for example, google.com or yandex.ru), and use the extended (“advanced”) search. You will need to make several clicks before you know how many incoming links to your site are in the database of a given search engine.

    And now, for a moment, imagine that you have to do this regularly to always be aware of which sites already link to you, which ones have removed links, which new links have appeared. subsequently conduct a comparative analysis

  • The second way is to automate the whole process using a program specially created for this purpose – for example, the Web CEO Link Popularity tool, which we will use as a demo later.

First, you can use the “My Site” report by adding your competitor’s URL as the site to investigate. This way you get information about the total number of links that you need to collect in order to achieve such positions. We advise you to focus on information from Yahoo or MSN, since Google is notorious for its tendency to show far from all incoming links that it stores in its database and uses for calculations.

Next, you go to the “Competition” report, where you can get the same numbers, only for several sites at the same time: it becomes possible to compare yourself with several competitors and estimate the amount of work required.

With the “Who links to me” report (again using a competitor’s URL as the site under study) you get the treasured information about who links to the leaders. This is almost a ready-made list for your own mailing list. Why “Almost”? Next, we will explain how to filter this list in order to select only the most profitable partners.

The Link Text Analysis report helps you determine which keywords other sites are using when linking to competitors. The words used in the links themselves play a big role in determining the relevance of pages by search engines.

Finally, you use the Linking Sites Overview report to find out which sites are linking to more than one of your competitors at the same time. First, since a link from this site has helped several competitors, not just one, the chances are higher that this site will also be useful for your positions. Secondly, you get additional confidence that this site is not a satellite or partner of one of your competitors, which helps to save time on correspondence with unpromising partners.

Operational tracking of your site’s link map

So, you’ve got a real and fairly complete picture of the links to your site, studied the map of your competitors’ incoming links, thereby “peeping” their strategy for increasing the citation index. .. But a one-time check is not enough – webmaster (or the site owner) should always be aware of how many resources are linking to their site, what those resources are, which incoming links have disappeared, and why.

For such comparative analysis, it is enough to rescan the report you are interested in, previously obtained using the Link Popularity tool, and you will see fresh data in comparison with the previous report, the best report or the first scan. At the same time, data can be displayed, saved, printed both in the form of tables and in the form of graphs.

Based on the results of regular scans, the Link Popularity tool database generates a history of all scans for each analyzed page/site. In addition, to facilitate your work and automate the reanalysis process, you can use the convenient and simple solution from the Web CEO program. A task scheduler called Scheduler will give you the ability to program the Web CEO’s job so that certain tasks run automatically at the desired interval (say, every Monday at 10:00 am). You can specify for which project (website) the task should be performed and select one of the previously created profiles that contain the specific settings necessary to complete the task (the list of search engines on which backlinks are checked, the list of analyzed websites, etc.).

HTML Links



Links are the basis of hypertext documents, as they allow you to move from one site to another with a simple mouse click. Thanks to links, a web page is structured and links with other sections of this document, which provides users quick and convenient obtaining information. HTML uses element 9 to create a link.0097 , the so-called anchor (from the English anchor). To turn the selected text into a link, place it between the opening and closing tags – and using the attribute href (short for hypertext reference (hypertext link)) specify the URL (Universal Resource Locator) , universal resource locator), in other words, the address of the page to be navigated to. The URL must be enclosed in quotation marks. If you want nothing to happen when you click on the link, which is necessary during training, then as the value of the attribute href can be specified
sharp sign – (#) .

The following example creates a link to the “wm-school” website:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Go to to wm-school 

In most browsers, link text is displayed in blue with an underline. When you hover your mouse over a hyperlink, the pointer will turn into a hand. Visited links tend to turn purple.

Absolute and relative links

The browser needs to be told which document to follow the link to. Attribute href (hypertext link) contains the page address (URL) and passing it to the browser tells which document to follow the link to. In most cases, links lead to other HTML documents, but links can also lead to other objects, such as images, archives, video files, and so on. The link address can be either absolute or relative.

Absolute URL

An absolute URL contains the protocol designator (http:// or https://), the site name (for example, wm-school.ru), the file path, and the file name (for example, file.html). The protocol and site name can be prefixed with www:

 
 

As a rule, links with and without the www prefix lead to the same page. But there may also be situations when a link without the www prefix opens, but the browser does not find the same page with www at all. The reverse situation also occurs. The reason may be intentional or incorrect configuration of the web server.

The following example creates an absolute link to a third-party web resource:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Go to the wm-school website  

In this example, the link of the form Link Text

Creating a link to a document located one directory below

If you need to go to http://mysite.ru /animals/home/wild/message.html , then the link can be specified like this:

 Link text 

Create a link to the parent directory

-page located at http://mysite.ru/animals/home/edit.html , you need to go to http://mysite.ru/animals/index.html , then the link will be like this:

 Link text 

CREATION LINKS TO A FILE TWO LEVELS ABOVE

When moving from http://mysite.ru/animals/home/wild/message.html
to http://mysite.ru/animals/index.html , – the link will be like this:

 Link text 

Tip : Looking at Figure 1, you can easily understand that moving from the “parent” to the “daughter” you need to set points, respectively, moving to the “grandchild”, these points need to be set twice, etc.

Link to an email address

A mailto link is a special kind of link that helps users send a message for you. If the link uses the protocol mailto , it can be associated with an email address. Creating a link to an email address is done in much the same way as linking to a web page. Attribute value href must begin with the word mailto : followed by the email address to which the visitor should send their email.

The following example creates a link to an email address:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Email Message 

In order for the mail program to start, the appropriate settings must be set in the browser. It follows that the mail link will not work as it should for all users. But, if you enter the email address itself as the link text, then even those visitors who do not have the mailto function on their computer can use it.

Rules for writing URLs

When creating links, it is important to adhere to the following rules to avoid common mistakes:

  • When creating links, do not use a backslash (\), such a mistake makes your links broken. Web URLs use only forward slashes (/). On the Windows operating system, the backslash is used when specifying the path to files on the computer (for example, D:\Images\elefant.png).
  • Don’t start a link URL with your computer’s drive name (C:, D:, etc.). Links between pages of a document will work while it’s on a local server, but when you host your site on a remote web server, those links will stop working.
  • Absolute URL, must begin with the protocol designation http:// or https:// .
  • Do not use file paths as URLs. Using the file protocol, you can create a link to a file located on your computer (for example, file:///D:/Themes/lessons.html). However, such a link will not work on the web or on other computers.
  • Do not use spaces or special characters in file and folder names, even if they are valid characters. For example, when requesting a document with the file name “Web Master.html”, the browser will convert a space into a special character code (%) i.e. Web%20Master.html. Use only numbers, letters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_) in file names.
  • Any link is an inline element, so you can’t place block elements inside elements, but you can put a link in a block container element.

Opening links in a new window

To create a link that opens a page in a new browser window, you can use the target attribute of the opening tag of the element. The value of this attribute must be set to _blank . Most often, links of this type are placed if they transfer the visitor to a third-party site. In this case, site builders hope that the visitor will return to their site after viewing the opened page, because in this case your site remains open in the visitor’s original window and does not let him forget about you. Some users love the display in a separate window, while others find the new windows more annoying than comfortable. Therefore, use this technique sparingly, only to some links and, at the same time, it will not be superfluous to warn the visitor in advance that the page will open in a new window.

The following example shows how to create a link that opens a page in a new browser window:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Visit our homepage!

If you set the value of the target attribute to "_blank",
then the link will open in a new window or tab.

If you set the value _blank for all links on the web page, then each of these links will be opened by the visitor in a new window, as a result, the user may have a great many open windows. To avoid this situation, you can give the target window an individual name that can be specified in links instead of the value _blank . The following link will open in a new window named _window :

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Visit the homepage our website! 
Learn HTML

If you set the target attribute value of all links to "_window",
then the links will open in a new window named window.

Set each link on your web page to _window instead of _blank and all documents you link to will open in the same second window, and your site will remain open in the original window .

The target attribute can have the following values:

Value Description
_blank Open the page in a new window or tab.
_self Open the page in the same window (this is the default).
_parent Used when working with frames and allows you to open the page in the parent frame; if there are no frames on the current page, then this value works like _self.
_top Used when working with frames and allows you to open the page in a full browser window, replacing all the frames that were on the page; if there are no frames on the current page, then this value works like _self.
framename Open the page in a new window with the name framename .

Link tooltip

Another useful link helper attribute is title , which allows you to create a tooltip for your link. Such a hint gives the user additional information about what awaits him under the link. The tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor lingers over the link, after which the tooltip disappears after a while.

Sample HTML:

Try It Yourself


 

The tooltip is displayed when the mouse cursor lingers over a link.

Creating a link to a specific position on a page scrolling, or to return to the top of the page with a single click. You can create links to different sections of the current web page, or to a specific location on another web page. The place on a web page where you send your visitor is called a snippet. Creating a link to a specific area of ​​the page is a two-step process. Before creating a link to a specific page fragment, you need to mark this section of the page (create a bookmark) using the attribute

id , which assigns a unique name to any HTML element on the page.

Step 1: Create a bookmark on the page

A bookmark on a particular fragment of the page is set using the attribute id . In the professional language of web developers, it is called the fragment identifier. The value of attribute id must start with a Latin letter or underscore (starting with a number or any other character is not allowed). Also, on the same web page, multiple bookmarked elements cannot have the same attribute value of id . Let’s say you want to send the reader to a Level 2 heading on our web page. Give the header a unique name (in this case, the name is absolut ).

Our bookmark will look like this:

 

Absolute URL

You’ve essentially created a bookmark fixed to the heading “Absolute URL”.

Step 2: Create a link to a bookmark

To create a link to an element with an attribute value of id would require a element whose href attribute value must begin with the (#) hash symbol followed by the id attribute value of the marked element. Next, create a link that takes the reader to a bookmark named absolut on the current page:

 Go to "Absolut URL" 

This link refers to the element

, located in another part of the web page, whose attribute has id set to absolut . The hash mark (#) in front of the name is needed to indicate that this is a fragment and not a filename.

Now, if you click on the link: Go to “Absolute URL”, the browser will take you to the section starting with the heading “Absolute URL”.

Creating a link to a fragment of another document

To create a link to a specific part of another page located in another document (on your site or on a third-party site), you need to add the attribute value 9 to the end of the URL of the page0097 id of the desired element, separating them with the symbol (#) . For example, a link to the heading “All about elephants” on a page from another document in the same directory would look like this:

 Go to elephants on another page 

You can also link to a specific snippet on a page on another site by ending the absolute URL with the snippet ID followed by a pound sign, like this:

 Go to hippos on another site 

You can’t set identifiers on other site pages, they can be created by the author himself . To find out if there are bookmarks on someone else’s page and where they are, you can, of course, look at the source code and find the corresponding markup. In the case when the designated fragments in the external document are deleted, the page under the link will still load, but, as in the case of regular links, the browser will display the page from the very beginning.

Example of creating a bookmark link from another web page:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Go to kbd tag on another page
Go to hippos on another site 

In this example, the first link leads to the html_code_elements.html file located on the site in the same directory, when you open this file, you go to a bookmark with the name kbd .
The second link is to a nature.html file located on another site (worldanimals.com), opening that file takes you to a bookmark called hippo .

Link images

Graphic images can be used not only as illustrations, but also as links. In other words, a new page will open when you click on the picture. To ensure that the image works as a link to other web resources, it is enough to place the image inside the element like this:

HTML example:

Try it yourself


 Images  

When you hover over an image in a link, the pointer turns into a hand.

    Lesson 31. Cross-reference in a document – Effective work in MS Office

    Often in the text of a document it is necessary to note where the object associated with a particular text is located. For example, “See Figure 10 for a water tap connection diagram.” That is, we need to make a link to the figure. If there are 5 drawings in the document, then you can manually calculate them. And if there are 25 drawings? It is even worse if we collect one large document from several rather large documents. This is where Cross Reference comes in handy.

    Understand and remember! Cross reference is a reference to an element that is in another part of the document, for example, “See Figure 1. ” or “See clause 3.1”.

    You can cross-link the following items:

    1. Paragraph
    2. Heading
    3. Bearing (get acquainted with the concept of footnote later)
    4. terminal footnote (get acquainted with the concept of end footnote later)
    5. Names of objects

    at the end of the lesson you can set a cross link to the name of table

  • link to Figure Title
  • Update Cross-Reference Field
  • If you have done the document correctly following the results of Lesson 30, then open this document. But you can use this link: Download document here . Open a document. Since there will be no work with styles in this lesson, I closed the Styles task pane.

    1. Cross-reference to Table Name

    Did you notice that the text of the document contains the expressions “ (see) ”? I’ve prepared a space for a cross reference.

    Step 1. Place the cursor in the place of the intended cross-reference:

    Step 2. Open the “Cross-references” dialog box (References ribbon → Names group of commands → Add cross-reference button):

    Just in case, I’ll show what this button looks like in full screen mode:

    A dialog box appears:

    1. Which fragment will be cross-referenced to? From the drop-down menu, we determine the type of cross-reference. You can cross-reference a paragraph, title, bookmark, footnote, figure, table, etc.
    2. What will the link look like? For example, “page number”. This means that the link will look like the number of the page on which the fragment is located. Or “paragraph text”. In this case cross-reference will completely repeat the text of the selected fragment.

    In Lesson 30, I told you what the Field is. Cross reference is also a Field. For example, the text “See rice. 15″ is a cross-reference to the title of Figure 15, i.e. clicking LM on the cross-reference takes us directly to the title of the figure. If the title of figure 15 changes the number for some reason, then the cross-reference to this figure also changes the number. Moreover, it does not matter in what place of the document this figure is located.

    Understand and remember! Cross-references are used to navigate within a document.

    Step 3. Set the following values ​​in the Cross Reference dialog box:

    1. Link type – table The constant part and what is the number, see Lesson 29
    2. Insert as a hyperlink – leave
    3. For what name – choose Table 1. Types of regulations (the program automatically compiles a list of all table names based on the table names in the document, if, of course, we inserted the name using the Insert Name dialog box, see Lesson 29 )

    Step 4. After setting the values ​​we need, press the button “ Insert “:

    The Cancel button has turned into a button Close .

    Step 5. Press the button Close

    So, in the selected place, a constant part and the number of the selected table name appeared:

    Walk through the document and place cross-references to the table names in the right places. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

    1. Place the cursor in the right place (follow the prompt “ (see) ”)
    2. 0056
    3. Select the type of link – Table
    4. Insert the link to – “Permanent part and number”
    5. Select the name of the table to which cross links
    6. Press button
    7. Click button

    9000

    2. Cross-reference to Figure title

    Step 1. Put the cursor in the place of the intended cross-reference:

    Step 2. Call the “Cross-References” dialog box (References Ribbon → Names group of commands → Add Cross-Reference button:

    The “Cross References” dialog box appears.

    Step 3. We install the following values ​​in the Cross -Link dialog box:

    Step 4. After setting the values ​​we need, click the button “ insert

    Step 5. Close

    And now, in the chosen place, a constant part and the number of the chosen name of the picture appeared:

    Go through the document and place cross-references to the Names of the pictures in the right places. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

    1. Place the cursor in the desired location (follow the tooltip “ (see) ”)
    2. Open the “Cross-references” dialog box (Links ribbon → Names command group → Add cross-reference button
    3. Select the type of link – “picture”
    4. Insert a reference to – “Constant part and number”
    5. Select the name of the figure to which the cross-reference is organized
    6. Press the button Insert
    7. Press the button Close

    For example:

    Understand and remember! Cross-reference is made to the name of the object, not to the object itself

    I tried to repeat throughout the text: Name of the table, Name of the figure. If you delete the picture and leave the name of the object, the link will work as if nothing had happened.

    Now it’s time to see how the cross-reference will work.

    3. Updating the “Cross-reference” field

    Let’s set up a difficult problem right away. As we worked through the document, we found out that chapter 5 should actually be chapter 2. Think back to Lesson 28 where we learned about heading navigation. Go to the beginning of the document (simultaneously press the keys on the keyboard Ctrl + Home )

    Step 1. Open the Navigation workspace. Ribbon View → command group Display → checkbox Navigation area:

    We get this picture:

    It’s very inconvenient to move chapters because the Navigation area shows second level Headings. As a result, the list of all headings turned out to be long. But in lesson 28, we learned how to deal with this problem

    Step 2. In any place of the Navigation task pane, click PM and select the Collapse All command from the context menu:

    We get this picture:

    It became more convenient to work right away.

    Step 3. Move in the Navigation area Chapter 5 to the second place in the list (press LM on the title of Chapter 5 and, without releasing the left mouse button, drag Chapter 5 to the second place after chapter 1): jumped straight to chapter 5?

    Admiring the result:

    But along with chapter 5, we dragged the drawing, which retained its number.

    Step 4. Select the entire document by simultaneously pressing the keys on the keyboard Ctrl + A and click the functional button F 9 , as a result of which the already familiar window appears:

    • Celebrate the radio station “Update the whole”
    • Click OK

    Do not be afraid if the window is “The window“ “ Illustration List Update” pops up for the second time. After all, we have two lists of illustrations: a list of figures and a list of tables.

    Admiring the result:

    And the title of the figure has changed its numbering, and the cross-reference has “worked out” this change. You can go through the entire document and make sure that the numbering of figures and tables has been updated, and the lists of figures and tables have also been updated.

    Now you can:

    1. Set a cross reference to the Table Title
    2. Set a cross reference to the Figure Title
    3. Update the “Cross Reference” field

    you are not afraid now! Function button F 9 will never let you down!

    How to insert a link to a person or group in a Contact and is it possible to make a word a hyperlink in the text of a VK message

    Updated September 24, 2021 Views: 76 571 Author: Dmitry Petrov

    Hello, dear readers of the KtoNaNovenkogo.ru blog. Quite often, when communicating on the social network Vkontakte, it becomes necessary to make a link to person (his personal VK page) or to a group, public (read what it is) or an event page.

    And it’s not easy to paste the URL copied from the address bar of the browser (when the desired page is open in it, for example: https://vk.com/ktonanovenkogoru ), and make it so that the link is the word (phrase), by clicking on which you could get to the profile of the right person or to the right community (for example, to the public: KtoNaNovenkogo.ru – SEO, earnings, Internet or per person: Dmitry Ivanetsku).

    That is, we need to make an analogue of a hyperlink, but only in the text that we create in VK. However, I’ll make a reservation right away – you can insert any link into a Contact (for a person, for a community, or for an external site), but making it a word (formalized as a full-fledged hyperlink) will not always work. In addition, an analogue of BB codes is used for insertion, which you will still need to learn how to use. Actually, in this short post just about it and will be discussed.

    How to make a link to a person on VKontakte?

    As I already mentioned, in Contact for this purpose , the BB code is used (and not Html markup) or notation options starting with an asterisk or a dog (read why the @ symbol is called a dog). Anyway, the syntax is very similar to BB codes. This method of creating hyperlinks will work in most places where you can enter text in VK (for example, in posts, in comments, in descriptions of communities and videos).

    How to insert a link to a person in VK using BB codes

    obtained by clicking on the button located to the left of Vexpace and holding Shift on the keyboard). This disgrace looks something like this (by the way, you can copy this construction from here to paste it when typing Vkontakte):

     [|] 

    In this construction, after the vertical bar, you will have to enter a word (or phrase) that will become a hyperlink when the message is published in VK. If you want to make a link to a person, then it would be appropriate to insert his first and last name (or nickname) after the vertical bar. In other words, after the vertical bar, we enter the so-called link text (anchor).

    But before the vertical bar, but after the opening square bracket, we will have to enter the equivalent of the URL address where the link we created should lead to. Since in this way it will be possible to make only internal hyperlinks (leading to pages inside the Vkontakte website), then you do not need to enter the full URL – it will be enough to enter either the ID of the personal page of the person you need, or its short address (if he set it in the settings of “My pages”).

    Thus, to insert a link to a person in VK, it will be possible to use one of the following constructions :

     [id161397394|Dima Ivanetsku] 

     [ktonanovenkogo|Dima Ivanetsku] 

    It does not matter which record to use

    . As a result of we will get a link leading to the Contact page of the person we need with the words you need. The text of the hyperlink will be the full name, nickname or some other words you entered.

    Instead of or together with the text , emoticons can also be used in such a hyperlink (smiley codes for the Contact can be taken on the page above).

    You may have a question: where to get the ID of the desired VK page or its short address. The question is fair. However, the answer is very simple. Open the page of the person you want to link to, and in the address bar you will see one of two things: either an ID or a short address (immediately after https://vk.com/ “”). In the case of my page, this will be a short address:

    But it can also be like this:

    If this is your own page, then you can select the “My settings” item from the left menu and see the information you need in the “ The address of your page “:

    In general, nothing complicated.

    How to quickly make a hyperlink to a Vkontakte page?

    If you are reluctant to bother with BB codes, and the text of the hyperlink (the words from which the link will lead) in the form of the name and surname of the right person suits you, then I can offer you way is a bit simpler than (faster). In this case, you will not need to use square brackets.

    Just put first an asterisk * or a dog @ , and then without a space you can specify either the short address of the page of the person you need, or its ID, or you can generally start typing his last name and first name, and select the desired option from the list of suitable ones that appears of people.

    Actually, as soon as you enter the * or @ symbol from the keyboard, the contact will tell you everything:

    Let’s see this with an example. Let’s say I start typing the short address of my personal page:

    I am offered a choice of creating a link either to a person (Dmitry Ivanetska) or to a public page. It remains only to choose the desired option. After selecting, the required structure will be automatically inserted into the text input field:

    After clicking on the “Submit” button, this structure will automatically be converted into a hyperlink with the username or community name as the anchor text of the link. As a result, we get the same result as with the use of BB codes – a link from the text of the message left in the Contact, affixed with the words of the name and surname of the person we wished to refer to (see the screenshot in the previous section).

    You can also do this:

    The result will be the same.

    How to insert a link in the text to the community with the right words

    Well, everything here is also very simple and similar to what has already been described above. The only thing is that if a group, public or event page does not have a short address, you will need to insert not an ID with the page number, but club with the group number, public with the public number or event with the page number with the event. It will be possible to take them all from the same address bar (although the numbers are still quite often replaced with a short address.

    Such entries can look like:

     [public38339814|Blog such and such] 

    Be careful with placing such links to your community from other communities, walls and comments. At the same time, use hyperlinks as words only those that really describe the community, otherwise it may be blocked or even removed from Vkontakte (for spam).

    In the same way, to create a link to a community (group, public), you can first put an asterisk * or a dog @ , and then enter either a short address or a number of a public page, group or event page without a space. The contact will understand you perfectly and offer you to choose the right one:

    As you can see, everything is quite simple here too.

    Is it possible to make any word a hyperlink in a Contact?

    Unfortunately, you can refer from the text posted on the social network Vkontakte to your (or someone else’s) site only by directly placing the URL in the text. It will not work to make any words a hyperlink leading to some external site . That is, it will not work to use a construction of the form:

     [https://ktonanovenkogo.ru|Website promotion] 

    It won’t work. But you can easily insert the URL https://ktonanovenkogo.ru into the text and it will be converted into a link, but this URL will be used as its text.

    As you can see, Contact recognized the link even on the fly and offers to add, in addition to the text you wrote, the announcement of the page that he found by clicking on it. Great opportunity.

    For example, I create announcements of my new articles in VK this way – I just go to my page and to the public, and then insert the URL of the new article into the line for adding a new message. The contact automatically creates an announcement and all I have to do is publish it.

    By the way, if the links you insert into the text are very long , then Vkontakte may unsuccessfully crop them. To avoid this, I advise you to use the branded shortener vk.cc (read more in the article about vk.cc and other link shortening services).

    Thus, it turns out that any word in the text entered in the Contact can be made a hyperlink, but only if it leads to some page within this social network. With external links, this trick no longer works. That’s it…

    Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the KtoNaNovenkogo.ru blog

    How to use mailto: and tel: links – HTML Academy Blog

    Links tel: are needed to make the phone number clickable on the site, and through mailto: you can send a whole letter , in which the address, the subject, and even some text will be immediately filled. Sometimes this is convenient – the user does not need to dial a phone number manually, and a letter to the support service can be started immediately with a specific subject.

    These link formats are supported by all browsers, so you can use them in your projects as needed without worrying that they won’t work somewhere.

    mailto:

    The link is formed from several parts. First, the mailto: prefix is ​​put in the address, after which the mail address is indicated. This is the easiest option.

     Write to us 

    The text of the letter is specified using parameter body

     Contact us 

    Parameter subject is responsible for the subject of the email.

     Write to us 

    You can even specify someone in the copy, for this you can use parameters cc and bcc .

     Write us 

    What happens if you click on the link from

    mailto

    The mail program will open, in which all the required fields will already be filled. For example, the link above will be processed by the Mail program in OS X:

    If the mail program is not installed by default, a program selection window will appear.

    Please note that addresses with non-standard characters, such as quotation marks or additional @ signs, must be written in a special way. Read more about this and other complex cases in >RFC 6068 9=”mailto:”] {
    font-size: 16px;
    line-height: 32px;
    color: #000000;
    }

    tel:

    A link to a phone number is marked with a special prefix before the phone number – tel: .

     +7-900-111-11-11 

    It is considered good manners to include the country code in href . At the same time, the number can be indicated in the link text in any convenient format. For example, we add a city number on the website of a company from St. Petersburg:

    Good

     (812) 123-45-67 

    href contains a number with country and city codes, there is a city code in the link text 812, by which it is clear that we are talking about Peter.

    A little worse

     123-45-67 

    In this case, residents of all cities will be able to call the company, and the short number will be understandable and local. The case will go into the “bad” category if it is not clear from the site which city the company is from.

    Bad

     123-45-67 

    Phones with St. Petersburg SIM cards will get through this city number, but residents of other cities will get somewhere else.

    Another RFC 3966 requirement is that the phone number specified in href must be visible on the page.

    Good

     Call 8-900-111-11-11 for any reason. 

    The number is visible in the link text.

    Bad

     Call for any reason. 

    Number not visible in link text, unpredictable behavior.

    What happens if you click on a link from tel

    A dialer application will open on your smartphone, in which the number indicated in the link will be dialed. If you open such a link on a computer that has a calling program, the same thing will happen.

    The Jericho School District is a high-achieving and competitive school district. Students always aim to do their best and have shown excellence through their work. The teachers and administration are caring, kind, and strict when needed. They create a safe environment for students to be in and are there for students when needed. Jericho also provides a variety of extracurriculars to help students explore their interests. From sports to clubs, several activities are made available to students.
    However, one of the main problems at Jericho is the lack of diversity in the schools. There is an Asian majority with a few other ethnicities in the student body.

    Before coming to this District, we were constantly moving in NYC. we change 3 different schools with 1 private and 2 public. My child was also part of the Gift and Talent program in NYC. however none can compete against Jericho school. I’ve made the best choice ever by moving to Jericho.
    The teacher in this schools are great, they constantly communicate with parents and always do extra curriculum activity with child to test their limit in Math and Reading. they have a excellent afterschool sport program. while I cant compare the sport program with other LI schools, but definitely a top notch against NYC none to existent sport program!!! there are dedicated parent group who work together towards the same goal.. great town great school, we love it here.

    Jericho school district are the best district I have ever been, I gave you all the support you needed, the most importantly Jericho school district have the best teacher who are very patient and experience about all kind of kids. I am very glad to be at Jericho school district. Especially during covid-19, the online learning have improved a lot and the school district have great procedure for student safety in school.

    As a current student at Roslyn High School, I have experienced first hand that teachers are always ready to help and see their students succeed, and form bonds with students to grasp an understanding of each students learning style. The vast variety of clubs and other extra curricular activities ensure that every student has multiple ways to express their interests, and make life long friends. There are many places in the school where one can feel comfortable and make themselves at home with doing homework and enjoying a meal of choice. The sports and art facilities are places where people can exercise and express themselves creatively with encouraging teachers and coaches to push students to their full potential. Being a student at Roslyn ensures that you can explore every opportunity to succeed in your career(s) outside of school.

    Overall, I received a well-rounded education throughout my time at Roslyn. I made many incredible friends and there were so many opportunities to get involved with student life. I was a member of the marching band, the GSA, the Astronomy Club, and VEDDA. The course offerings and AP electives were plentiful and most of my professors were great.

    I like my school 🙂 There is a lot of support from various teachers, and I really feel supported. Although there are definitely some issues, it is overall pretty good.
