References
DO NOT list references on your CV.
Create a sheet with your CV heading and References beneath that – see sample on the next page.
- List at least two (usually no more than four) references.
- Get permission from those you want to use as a reference. If possible, use an employer, i.e., the supervisor on your internship, etc. They can speak about you as an employee.
- List the name of each reference along with their contact information.
- When you go for your interview, be ready to give this to the interviewer as you are leaving.
- You will often be asked to list references on your application (especially online applications), so be prepared prior to applying for a job.
You do not need to say: References available upon request – employers know this!
