Is it bad to put your references on your resume?

Hans Sachetti: Another reason to stay with the traditional (references available on request) is that you don't want your references to be needlessly bothered - apply the law of diminishing returns: the more times they have to answer the same questions about you while taking time out of their day, the shorter and less effusive those answers will get.

Lester Haschke: No. it is not bad to put references in ones resume.If the references are credible like former managers - it gives the message that you parted ways with your former employer well. It would also give an opportunity for someone to check out your professional background.

Sheron Perrez: It depends on the job you are being interviewed for. If you are competing for a good job then bring your refrences anyway to show you are prepared.

Adelle Weight: Yes include your refernces!!!! A trend for a while was to put "references available upon request" but all that serves to do is piss the employer off as t! hey have to work harder to find out if you're qualified, which is a daunting task already. Put your references at the bottom of the page of your resume. Best of luck at the interview. Get a friend to do a practice one with you tinight asking you typical interview questions so you have an idea how to respond!

Virgilio Echter: Do NOT put them on the same page. You never know who is enemies of whom and why kill your chances by putting them on the resume. They should be on another page with the same name/address header as the resume. Then just label them references.

Whitney Saborido: Don't put any references on your resume, if they are interested in you they may ask, at that time you can fill in references on there application.

Collin Barter: Most people put a several reference pages in their portfolios that can be handed out when requested at interviews.

Jestine Osumi: Typically you would wait till the invitation for a job interview is called.

! Mozell Sponsler: Put your references on a separate piece of wh! ite paper and bring it w/ you to the interview. That way if they ask for them you have them ready.
