I need help citing references for a job interview!?

Question

I have my resume all set to go, but I know they will be asking for references (they had asked me to bring them). Can anyone tell me the proper format for citing my references? I know it should not go on the resume itself, so what is the next best thing?

Answer 1

Type "References" on a separate sheet of paper, then make up a format, or find one that you like.
Here's a sample:





References

1. John Doe – Production Manager
The Factory
11 Main Street
Burlington, ON A4B 4C5

Bus: 905.123.3456
Email: [e-mail]

2. Jane Manager – Production Supervisor
The Workplace Inc.
21 Company Lane
Hamilton, ON

Bus: 905.456.7891
Res: 905.889.5623
Email: [e-mail]

3. Ken Doe – Chairman of the Board
The Helping Place
50 Altruism Avenue
Oakville, ON

Bus: 905.789.1234
Email: [e-mail]

Answer 2

Normally you do not put referees in the CV unless they ask you to provide for referees. That last section of the CV where you write reference will be available upon request is the section where you should put your referees since they have already requested for them. Some companies normally state that the CV should not be more than 2 pages. If your CV is 2 pages, by providing an additional page for the reference, it means your CV will be 3 pages, which automatically disqualifies you from the interview.

Answer 3

While most employers will always check your past employers, They almost never check references (unless you need a security clearance).
Just list the Names, Addresses, And phone numbers of people that will say good things about you.
