This would be funny if people did not actually do it.
One of the networking groups I attended while looking for work brought this point up. People should have three references “on tap” and at least one of them better be a supervisor and the other two related to you professionally. Coworkers or customers are OK, but the more supervisors you can get, the better.
Oh, and one other thing: get your references’ permissions to use them and know what they are going to say about you.
They recommended not including your pastor as a reference. That advice doesn’t apply to my wife: she works for a church.

“I do but they are not as complimentary. Some were flat-out rude and insulting. It was hard enough to get my mother to think of anything nice to say.”
