Reference Name Company where they work, their position City, State Email address: Phone or Cell Phone number: 216-555-1212 Third step in creating a reference page: The references template is pretty straight forward. Once you have your first reference listed, simply copy the same format to the next reference and do this three or four times. That's it, you're all done writing your list of references. Were you expecting more? Keep in mind that your references should be on one single piece of paper. Make sure you don't put "references available on request" on your resume. Mainly because it's unnecessary and because employers will assume you have references and they will ask you when they are getting close to making you a job offer. When creating your reference sheet to take to the interview, put it on letter-head that matches your resume and cover letter. In addition to looking good, the letterhead will identify whose reference sheet it is if it gets separated from your letter and resume. But avoid offering your references to a potential employer in an interview unless they ask for them. It is rare that an employer will ask for references in a first interview, but it is possible which is why you want to have them with you. If they do ask for your references, then give them your references sheet along with any letters of recommendation that you may have. Usually, employers will not ask for your references until they have made the decision to hire you. Once they have, then your references will serve as an extra piece of mind to a potential employer that they are making a wise investment in hiring you.
