<strong>Reference</strong> <strong>Page</strong> <strong>Tips</strong><br />
• Use a list of 3 to 5 professional references.<br />
• Make sure you ask permission from a reference before putting his/her<br />
name on your reference sheet.<br />
• Give the reference a copy of your resume.<br />
• Always include the reference’s title.<br />
• Examples of references include former employers, professors, a coworker,<br />
a coach or an advisor.<br />
• Do not send references with your resume. Take your reference sheet<br />
to the interview.<br />
• If an employer asks if they can call your references, let your references<br />
know that they may be called. Tell them the name of the person calling<br />
<strong>and</strong> the job for which you applied. If possible, give them a copy of the<br />
job description.<br />
