    How do references work? I\u2019m starting to look for a new job which means potential employers are going to be asking me for references. I\u2019m not ready to let my boss know I\u2019m thinking of leaving and aside from my current coworkers I don\u2019t know who would attest to my ability as an engineer. I work for a small company (under 50) in an even smaller firmware department (about half a dozen). What am I to do?
