Some guidelines about listing references:

• Have three to four references available.
• Get permission to list people as references before doing so.
• It is best to use references who can describe your current and/or former work habits.
• Include the job title, company, address, and phone number of all references.
• Print the list on the same paper used for your resume and cover letter.
• Once you have a list of references, arrange them neatly on a separate page. Be consistent in formatting.
