How do you write your references on a resume?
My interviewer told me I needed a reference sheet with at least two references. I got the references, but what format do I put them in? Do I type it, do I need to put the time they’re available, so I add the place where they work, do I need to double space, do I have to indent each reference, etc.
The questions above are just a few of the many I have, but to put it short, what format do I put my references in?
I personally have my references typed on a new piece of paper, not with the resume because I feel that it should be private, until an employer actually asks for them. I’m not willingly going to show other people’s phone numbers out there.. it just doesn’t feel right.
There’s no special formatting that I do, just normal with one spacing from each info, like this:
Name of reference
Job title, place of employment
phone #
best time to call
I think it’s important to mention a best time to call so that they know approximately what time to reach each person
Good luck.

just type it.. normally they input it into there database.. but ya u can just type it and give it to them.
so you would write the name of the person and then beside it put there managment level if there a supervisor or a co worker and then you would put the number below it.
you dont need to indent or anything like that.. here is an example of what i mean:
References:
Supervisor (volunteer work)
Casey- 245-234-243
something like that.. im probably doing it wrong but i never had to write it personally normally the work just asks me for it and i would tell them and they would write it in there database.. they never do end up calling them.. sometimes they do though.
