List of References

You will need a list of three or four references to take with you to interviews. Most employers check references towards the end of a hiring process, and will ask you for it when they want it.

First, ask the people you plan to use as references if they are willing to speak about you to prospective employers. Describe the types of positions you are seeking. Ask how they prefer to be contacted.

Make a list, using the same paper as for your resume and cover letter.

Use a heading with your contact information, and a title "List of References."

List your reference’s name, organization, contact information and relationship to you, i.e.:

John Applegate
Marketing Associates
(617) 333-4555
j.applegate@MA.com
