Questions Reference

Can you put references on the resume itself?
[Edit]

References

Generally speaking, no. They belong on a separate sheet, and this sheet should be brought to job interviews but not attached to the resume.

Here's what the Federal Citizen Information Center recommends:

Usually, resumes do not include names of references, but some reviewers suggest breaking this rule if the names are recognizable in the occupation or industry. Most resume writers end with the statement "References available upon request." Others assume job reference availability is understood and use that space for more important information.

Regardless of whether you mention it on the resume, you will need to create a separate reference sheet to provide when requested and to carry with you to job interviews.

A reference sheet lists the name, title, office address, and phone number of three to five people who know your abilities. Before offering them as references, of course, make sure these people have agreed to recommend you. At the top of the sheet, type your name and contact information, repeating the layout you used in your resume.
