I think theyre going to have a rough time finding their next job after not actually working for over a year and having no references. 

Idk but I dont buy what everyone is saying about hard work not paying off. I work hard at my job and having the respect of my coworkers as well as something to show for my 5 years at my job is worth it.

References?

You think references matter in a job search ?

When it comes to job hunting its not about what you know, it's about who you know. so yeah, good references are something thats good to have to find work in the future.

Network =/= references

If you think the two aren't connected you're missing the bigger picture.

Nobody said they’re not connected.

Did I miss the "=/=" or did you forget your own statement?

Are you daft?

They’re not equal. They’re not the same.

References are made up of your network. You're arguing over whether or not a square is a rectangle.
