i was just giving an example of the word's usage in english from my 'dictionary of english language and culture', longman group uk ltd, i know it's a bit primitive, but what is it you disagree with?
another e.g. from the same source:
we will lend you the money if you can provide a banker's reference (= a note from the bank to say that you are a trustworthy customer)
ok, the dictionary is 1992, but that's the way english is still spoken, at least in the uk.

letter of reference for Mr. Ivanov


Explanation:
This is what they use in US in Human relations departments.
Letter of reference may be required from your ex employer.
I just thought of another term - evaluation. I don`t know your context, but if it is an in-house "haracteristika" (to report his progress within company) than it is called evaluation.
