References are usually only really employed and called upon by interviewers towards the back end of an employment process, so if an interviewer asks for a reference on the spot it demonstrates that they’re willing to skip that stage and potentially quicken your employment. Some might be intimidated and taken back by a sudden ask for a reference, but it really is one of the best signs going in a meeting room. Once again, they wouldn’t ask for one if they weren’t seriously considering someone.
