References

Most organizations will ask for 3 to 5 people they can contact in person. Letters of reference can supplement your resume, but in most cases are not a substitute for personal contact.

  • iconWho to Ask?

    • A current or past supervisor (job, internship, volunteer)
    • A favorite professor in whose class you excelled
    • A coworker who has shared a project with you

  • iconTips

    • References are NOT part of your resume. Send them only when asked.
    • You do not need “References Upon Request” on your resume. It’s assumed.
    • Keep in touch with your references throughout your job search.
    • Thank them when you land your job.
