Once you have finished your resume and cover letter you must create a Reference page.
Here are a few tips:
-
Use the same format for your cover letter, resume and reference page (font size, font type, header, etc.)
-
Choose three people that you think would say positive things about you. This could be a current boss, former boss, teacher, neighbour, etc.
-
Always ask the person if they would be a reference for you before you put his or her name down.
-
Ask the reference for contact information that you can put down on your reference page.
-
Try not to use family as references.
-
Information needed is the person's name, position at work (if applicable), relationship to you (eg. former Science teacher), contact information (phone number).
-
You should have three references.
