Professional References
Resumes | Creating Resume | Samples | Scannable Resumes | Cover Letters | References | Other Letters | Resources
Always prepare 3-5 professional (not personal) references on a separate sheet of paper. Good references to include are previous employers, professors you have worked with closely, advisors of activities you have participated, former internship supervisors, and volunteer supervisors. Always ask the person you would like to use as a reference prior to including them on your reference sheet. Also be sure to provide each person with a copy of your resume.
Below is a sample format for arranging your professional references:
