Formatting Your References

Job references should be on a separate sheet of paper from your résumé. A heading in the same format you used on your résumé should appear at the top of the page. For font, the rule of thumb is to use the same font you used on your résumé.

When you list your references, use a format similar to this:

Name, Position

Company

Company Address

Company Phone Number

Cell or Alternate Phone Number

E-mail Address

Try to use recent references and make sure you connect with them beforehand to ensure their contact information hasn`t changed, and to let them know you will be providing their information to a potential employer.
