Do you have to show the people you ask for a reference from, the whole job description of your next job?

If you applied for a job and the recruiter asked for 3 references. Do you have to show your references the entire job description before you get the reference? (Like responsibilities, salary, qualifications, etc.)

What exactly is a reference? Is it a personal letter saying how you did during your last job? Or is it a judgment from people who know you and a prediction on how you would do on your next job?

Dolorem est ut consequuntur aut. Debitis laboriosam ut quod voluptas placeat dignissimos qui. Iure et enim enim vitae consequuntur veniam id ut. Voluptatibus velit beatae nesciunt doloribus dolorem et. Hic aut sint rem iusto. Eos et quae eveniet delectus est temporibus.

Placeat officia commodi cumque. Corrupti aut expedita atque rem optio. Minima dolores eos doloribus.

Et dolorum tempora omnis. Commodi sed et sunt consequatur.

Debitis corporis accusamus aut eius quas facere. Maxime ut est eaque eaque voluptatibus.
