References on a resume have now become less important than ever before. Years ago, applicants would list their references right on their resume. This section later became a simple line on the resume - References Furnished upon Request. Today, this section is really just a statement of the obvious and best left off the modern resume.
This is not to say that having references is no longer important. In fact, you should probably have a list of references prepared in case a recruiter or prospective employer asks you for them.
You should also make sure that you have the permission of a reference to give their name and contact information to a prospective employer. You do this first as a courtesy to the person and you also want to be sure that someone you are using as a reference on a resume is comfortable in that role.
Other forms of this term include - reference, referencing |
