REFERENCES
For more information on references, cover letters, or resumes, plan to attend a Resume/Cover Letter Workshop offered in the Career Center. Visit the online calendar or call the Career Center (717-477-1484) for information on upcoming workshop dates and times.
General Tips
Include your complete contact information at the top of the page – this way the employer will know that your reference page belongs with your resume (not someone else’s).
References should always appear on a separate sheet (never list on the same sheet as your resume).
Reference page should contain 3-5 references.
Place contact information neatly on the page, making sure information is organized and easy to read.
Individuals should have agreed to serve as references for you. (Never list individuals unless you have asked and received their permission.)
Provide complete contact information for each individual.
Before listing anyone as a reference, ask his/her permission first!
Sample format:
Title (Dr., Mr., Mrs., Ms., Miss) First Name Last Name
