The document helps the employer to know you better and give you the appropriate task as explained in the vita.

Remember to indicate how qualified you are to hold the job vacancy which helps the employer understand how best you can hold any position offered to you. Referees should not be close friends because the employer will assume friends never took the issue seriously in that they were used to complete the application. Use professional referees, who probably were your teachers, employers, government officials to give the correct seriousness in the matter.
