letter of reference?

Question

I have a job interview next week. and I have three people as my references. and each has promised to write me a letter of reference in preparations for an interview (this was a while ago, and far as know, they are already written)

but I have a question. Do I need to get the letters themselves from them and take the letters with me to the interview, or does the company interviewing me have to request them from my references themselves, who send them in?

(in case it matters, its an office job).

Answer 1

Letter of reference or letters of recommendations are usually requested by the employer. If they require those letters they will usually contact your references their self.

The people who write the letter are responsible for getting it back to the employer.
For future purposes though, you don't really need that, unless it's been requested. You should just have a place on the bottom of your resume that says "references furnished upon request" then just supply names and contact information appropriately.

Good luck with your interview.
