Reference is a relation between objects in which one object designates, or acts as a means by which to connect to or link to, another object. The first object in this relation is said to refer to the second object. The second object – the one to which the first object refers – is called the referent of the first object.

The term reference is used in many spheres of human knowledge, adopting shades of meaning particular to the contexts in which it is used.

 

I directly give my Just Previous Boss as a reference.

On top of the list will be my most recent manager,boss,supervisor,whichever term one opts to use.lf l have worked in a number of companies,my previous managers will also come handy.Someone among your previous managers who seemed to have a distaste for you usually surprises you,they may give the best recommendation.I am saying this from experience,they see the best in you while playing 'devil's advocate'.
