should you put references on a resume
Don't put references — or 'references available on request' — on your resume. Keep a separate reference sheet and share it only when asked.
Jawapan ringkas
'References available on request' is outdated and just wastes space, since recruiters assume you can provide them. Listing actual references on the resume is also unnecessary and exposes them to contact before you're a serious candidate. Prepare a separate, formatted reference sheet and hand it over only when an employer specifically asks, usually after an interview.
CV Desk helps you apply this on your iPhone: it keeps the layout ATS-readable, exports a clean PDF with no tanda air, and lets you tailor each version to the job. Always adapt to the specific role and country.
