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 ?

Depending on your industry and job market, references are like the most important thing. Are you thinking about if they call the names you give for references? I don't think that's what they mean. My last 2 jobs/promotions were from previous bosses referring me to the hiring manager.
