When a client gives you a reference, you will receive an
email with a link leading to your
Zingword reference manager, which shows all of the references you’ve requested or received, and their status. You can accept or decline references right there as well. There are four statuses a reference can have:
• New – you’ve received a reference, but have not approved it yet
• Accepted – you’ve received and approved a reference, which can now be seen on your profile
• Declined – you’ve declined a reference, and the public eye doesn’t get to see it
• Pending – you’ve requested the reference, but your reference-giver has not responded yet.
