Need to Know

Q. I have been working for a family company owned by my parents. Can I list my mum and dad as referees?

A. Recruitment consultants and HR managers frown on relatives serving as referees for obvious reasons. Put yourself in the hiring manager's shoes. How would you feel if you saw a referee listed who was related to the candidate? Fair or not, you would doubt that referees' ability to be objective and/or unbiased. On the other hand, it is a bit tough when your work history revolves around working for mum and dad but that is the way it goes I'm afraid. If you have no other work history then I recommend you write "Referees available upon request" on your resume and then scout about for work-related contacts who are not related to you. These could include suppliers, clients or other managers within the organisation.
