REFERENCES:
  • Usually, availability of references (not an actual list of references) is indicated at the bottom of the résumé.
  • Often, names and contact information for references are provided only when requested and are not included with the résumé.
  • If you do send a list of references with your résumé, include it on a separate sheet and be sure that YOUR name appears on that sheet and that you provide full contact information (name, title, organization, mailing address, telephone number) for each reference.
  • If you are given an interview with a potential employer, you should have a list of references available when you go for the interview.
  • ALWAYS talk with potential references and obtain their permission BEFORE you offer their names to employers.
  • Usually, a minimum of three references is expected; ideally they should represent both academic and workplace experience.
