Help! I need a reference for a job! Who should I contact?

Help! I need a reference for a job! Who should I contact?

First of all, that's great news! We hope that you've already completed all of your non-core team tasks in the internship to make yourself employable.

As you move forward, the MVP Studio Team highly encourages you to focus on completing your internship tasks. It's important to ensure these tasks are finalized before applying for roles. If not, when potential employers reach out for reference checks, the team won’t have any substantial data to share. They would have to inform the employer that your tasks were incomplete, or that there’s no record of meeting attendance, which could unfortunately affect your chances.

If you have completed your tasks and have achieved at least IC level 3, feel free to make contact the MVP Studio team about reference checks and send an email to internship@mvp.studio. Remember to approach them with respect. Introduce yourself, which intake and role, where you are in the internship, and that you require a reference.  Be ready to provide your CV or resume, as well as the job description for the role you're applying for. This will help the team prepare and provide a more accurate reference. They may even schedule a meeting with you to ensure they can give the best possible reference.

The entire MVP Studio Team is rooting for you, and we wish you all the best with your job search!
