How to Put References on a Resume
Frequently asked questions
Should I write 'references available on request'?
No — it's assumed and just takes up space. Only include references when an employer explicitly asks for them.
How many references should I prepare?
Three to four is standard. Choose people who know your work and have agreed to be contacted.
