In the past, references were included on nearly all resumes. AdvertisementSame with “references available on request.”When you’re a finalist, HR will ask for references from your most recent supervisors, ideally your direct reports. Of course, you’re going to include references by those who will say only glowing things about you, but some past supervisors may not be so generous. Either way, make sure they know you’re going to list them as references. Contact the people you want to be your references, then ask their permission for you to list their name and contact info.
