Seriously, am I really suppose to have friends, family, coworkers take phone calls just so I can get a job later? And when you have 50 applications going out, I personally would not return any calls if I was used as a reference, that would be annoying! And also, who is going to give out the name and number to someone who would give negative reviews about said person anyway! I think it is a ancient ideology that needs to be gone.
