Employment Reference List
Preparing Your References
Identify suitable references who can speak positively about your skills and experience.
Choose a mix of professional references (supervisors, colleagues) and personal references (mentors, community leaders).
Ensure that references are aware of your job search and are willing to provide a reference.
Gathering Reference Information
Collect full names, job titles, and company names of your references.
Obtain current contact information, including phone numbers and email addresses.
Ask references for permission to include them on your list and confirm their preferred contact method.
Formatting Your Reference List
Create a clean, professional layout for your reference list.
Include your name and contact information at the top of the list.
List each reference’s information in a consistent format (e.g., name, title, company, phone, email).
Final Review
Double-check that all information is accurate and up to date.
Ensure the spelling of names and titles is correct.
Review the total number of references; typically, 3-5 is ideal.
Maintaining Relationships
Keep in touch with your references even after you secure a job.
Thank them personally for their support.
Update them on your career progress when appropriate.
