A resume reference sample page is requested by many employers as a factor in their hiring decision. Offering a reference sample in proper format along with a good resume can make the difference in landing a particular job.

First always keep your reference sample on a separate page from your resume.

Include three or more professional references at the top of your sample resume reference page.

List the company, title, address, phone number, and email address of your professional reference contacts on your sample page just below the name.

Include at least two or preferably more personal reference contacts at the bottom of your sample resume reference page.

List the address, phone number, and email address if possible of each personal reference on your sample page below each name as well.

Use a simple clear font to print references and just provide relevant factual information when making your resume reference sample page.
