References are people who can vouch for your skills and work experience.
They can be a useful addition to your job application package, especially when you're just starting out in your career. But it's important to know when and how to include references, as well as who to ask.
We've answered some frequently asked questions about resumes to help you prepare.
In most cases, you do not put references on a resume unless the employer specifically asks for them. Instead, you should have a separate reference list ready to go when the employer requests it.
How to send a reference list to an employer is easy - simply share it as a document or include it in an email when prompted. It's best to only provide references when asked in order to follow proper etiquette and only provide the most relevant references for the position.
