๐ป In todayโs age of digital resumes and LinkedIn profiles, a common question that job seekers might ask is whether or not they should put โReferences available upon requestโ on their resumes.
โIs it still necessary? Is there value in adding this phraseโ
๐ My take: Never mention references available upon request on your resumeโitโs assumed
๐ฃ๏ธ If the recruiters and employers want to check your references, they will ask for them. Here are some reasons to not do it:
โ It wastes space on the resume that couldโve been used for more value offerings, skills, or key accomplishments.
โ Itโs not a relevant term for your resume. It literally brings zero value.
โ It makes the resume longer than it needs to be, even if itโs just a line.
โ Like a screenplay, every line matters in your resume.
โ You just need to create a separate document with your name and contact information at the top and the following information within the document:
๐ Name, title
๐ Company
๐ City, State
๐ Phone
๐ Email
๐ Sentence or two about how they know you and what they can say about your work
