Job references

References are people who will speak positively on your behalf about your skills, abilities, work history, and motivation. Most employers will ask for three references, either when you apply, or at a job interview.

Steps for requesting a reference:

• Get permission to use someone as your reference in advance. Ask if they would feel comfortable being a reference for you, to be sure they will speak positively about you.
• People you could ask: previous work supervisor, co-worker, teacher, mentor, religious or spiritual advisor, volunteer supervisor, or others. Usually family and close friends do not serve as references.
• Confirm how your reference likes to be contacted, and the best times to reach her or him. Make sure it’s OK to give his or her name, phone number, and email address to the employer.
• Give your reference a copy of your resume and the job description for the position, so they know what to focus on.
• Create a one-page document that lists each reference’s name, job title, company or organization, street address, phone number, and email address. You will give this to an employer at your job interview, or send it to them on request.
• After your interview, send each of your references a thank you note, and let them know when you get a position.
