How do I Write a Resume Adding References?
- 1). Start a new page for the references. The references section should always have its own page.
- 2). Place your header at the top of the references page exactly as it is on the top of your resume. When you align the two sheets of paper and hold them up to a light, the headers should match identically.
- 3). Add the title "References" centered at the top of the page. Make sure your title matches your title format of your resume. If you use all capital letters for your titles, proceed to do so on this page as well. Hit the "Enter" or "Return" key twice, creating a double space.
- 4). Populate the first reference's information. Include the following information, centered on the page: name, title, company, street address, city, state, postal code, phone number and email address. Bold the reference's name. Return three times before you start your next reference.
Mr. John Doe
Owner
XYZ Company
123 Main Street
Anywhere, CA 12345
(123) 456-7890

- 6). Attach the references list to the back of the resume. Do not bend, staple or adhere the pages together in any way. They should be left as loose pieces of paper when handed out or mailed.
