How to make a good Reference List

Provide the employer a list of references upon request.
Do not include the reference list when you send your resume or fill in an application.
Have your references on a separate piece of paper.
Provide the prospective employer with the list of references when they ask for it.
Be sure to request permission from your references to use them as references before you include them on the list. You do not want them to be surprised or upset when a prospective employer calls them for a reference.

Include all contact information for your references:

Name
Position
Full Address
Telephone number
Email
