I have been asked to provide references after a few rounds of interviews. 1. How many is appropriate? and 2. can they be a mix of internal and external references? I am a little hesitant to ask my direct supervisor if he will provide a reference because I am sure he will not want me to leave, although we do have a close relationships. 3. Do I need to include him 4. In your experience, if you are told they are checking references does that mean the job is yours to lose?

Background check reference (Originally Posted: 04/22/2015)
I want to lateral over to another bank and have a bad working relationship with my direct manager.
When I provide references, do I have to provide my direct manager as a reference or am I allowed to list other references?
Allowed to use other references.
I've been a reference for some good people who left because of personality conflicts with their direct managers (a VP or Director who was an a$$). As long as they can speak to the fact that they've worked with you directly in a supervisory role (usually at least one full level up for analysts and associates), people are usually fine with that.
Because of high turn over, ideal situation is usually someone who had worked with you a lot in your current role, but has left for some reason. I once used a Director as a reference who I worked with who left the country for personal (non-performance related) reasons. Wasn't because I didn't like my direct manager, but I expressed sensitivity about people at my current work knowing I was thinking of leaving.
Ok cool. I'll refer an associate.
Reference from Managers (Originally Posted: 04/17/2011)
My contract at Bank of America is just about to get over and I was thinking of getting letters of reference from my managers. My question is if banks have a standard letter which I can use. In other words can I get the reference on BofA's letterhead? Right now I was thinking of having my managers fill in something like the attached.
Curious as well
