015 - Listener Questions, Vol. 1 - References, Attire, & Follow-Up

Jackie and Alexis answer questions from our listeners on the following topics:

References - how to determine who to put on your reference list, what to do if you don't have much work experience, and what distinguishes a great reference from a mediocre (or bad!) one.

Interview attire - how to know what's best to wear, particularly when interviewing with a more casual company or for a casual non-office position.

Appropriate follow-up - how to follow-up throughout the hiring process in a way that will actually be appreciated by hiring managers. Showing enthusiasm is important, but nobody wants to be irritating. So, where's the line?
