Recruiter asked professonal references after reading fb onsite feedback. She said feedback is positive with one exception so my case is in review stage. My spouse works there, can i provide my spouse as a reference? I have no coworker working at facebook so i dont have any strong reference other than my spouse. What should i do? Any experience? Recommendation?
Professional reference is from either your current company or previous companies not the future company you will be working for. You can provide people contacts from your current company. You donāt have to know anyone from FB.
Actually recruiter is asking specifically who works at fb
Oh wow. That is weird. Well, if you have LinkedIn contacts ask them if they are fine with it and provide their name. And explicitly mention that itās your spouse and give their name as well. Since you are upfront about it, it shouldnāt be a problem. If you can find other professionas( friends of friends) use their name too, with their permission.
