Important Notice: Our web hosting provider recently started charging us for additional visits, which was unexpected. In response, we're seeking donations. Depending on the situation, we may explore different monetization options for our Community and Expert Contributors. It's crucial to provide more returns for their expertise and offer more Expert Validated Answers or AI Validated Answers. Learn more about our hosting issue here.
You should gather references, in written form when possible, at every opportunity as your career progresses. A reference written today (when your achievements and contributions are clearly in the mind of the writer) will be much more useful and valuable than what the writer may offer five years from now.
