• List 3-5 references in the order you want them contacted; include email and phone
contact information. Try to include a professor, a boss, and if you were a supervisor or
manager, a former employee. Be sure your references will speak highly of you. Do not
list a reference if they are hard to contact.
• Be sure to ask your references’ permission before listing them on your reference sheet.
• DO NOT include your reference sheet in an application unless specifically mentioned.
Employers don’t want this until they specifically ask for it, usually after an interview
(take it to an interview just in case).
