References who are not former employers?? Do they mean former coworkers? Vendors? I think invisible internet friends totally should count then.
In other work news, I hate when I email a question saying "I know that in this instance, X and Y, but what about Z?" and people respond saying "In instances like that, make sure of X" and i say "Yes, yes, X, but what about Z?" and then someone else responds "Well, you know in cases like that you have Y" and I'm all "GOT THAT, X and Y are COVERED, but Z????"
Do they mean former coworkers?
I guess. Husband suggested they're looking to avoid the whole issue of employers not really giving references due to liability issues. But my references are kind of thin on the ground anyway. Ack.
Well, it's one thing to say "just contact my former employers" and it's another to say "here is my exboss who agreed to be my reference". Weird.
OK, I just got a response on the XYZ thing...saying "Well, they shouldn't do that thing! Because it causes issues with XYZ!" And I"m like "RIGHT, I know we've said that, my point was, they already did, people already have, and because of that we have a procedure for X and Y, and I've done that, I jsut need to know what the procedure is for Z!!"
(Sorry, this is making me crazy)
Mossad agents who grab Nazi war criminals and spirit them out of another country--I saw a TV movie about the Eichmann case when I was around 12, and have been fascinated by the Mossad ever since.

Mondo law firm wants professional references who are not former employers or relatives
Sounds like a question right off my Fitness and Character application for the NY Bar -- only then there was a stated preference for references not former employers or relative but who were attorneys.
In other words, of course invisible internet friends count.
Mondo law firm wants professional references who are not former employers or relatives. "Invisible internet friends" count, right? Who wants to be my reference?
Many times they mean people in the industry who you may or may not have worked with. Like if someone from the housing authority or the bank gave me a reference. My $.02 anyway.
But one of my personal goals is to interact with people as little as possible. This isn't conducive to getting references.
I just googled and e-mailed a former coworker. Hopefully she'll come through.
