I do, in fact from each of them but they apparently are not good enough as they also require to speak to the person who wrote them.

I posted it to illustrate how fast changing the world of companies and employment had become lately.
Can you not get a personal email address for that person for longer-term follow-up?

In some places a reference is what you ask for when you hire a nanny, not when you hire a professional.
Aye, agree with the nanny-reference part, but my experience of hiring in CH is that written references from all previous jobs and all certificates (from kindergarten through to professional qualifications) are de rigeur.

OK, maybe I'm exaggerating with the kindergarten part, but you know what I mean.
