References
Having strong, well-presented references can significantly boost your chances with potential employers. References provide credible, third-party confirmation of your skills, work ethic, and character, helping hiring managers feel confident in their decision to bring you on board.
References
- Start gathering up your references.
- Have on a separate page from your resume.
- 2 – 4 professional references from individuals that will be able to speak about your competencies and their experience with you.
- Potential references might include former employers, supervisors, professors, volunteer supervisors, coaches, professional mentors, teachers, or neighbours
- If you choose to include personal references, do not include family members or peers.
- Always ask your references for permission to include them on your resume. Talk with them about what they might say about you to potential employers, and share the job posting when possible.
