What are professional references? People who can account for your work-related qualities. * Most employers ask for three.

Why do I need professional references? References allow potential employers to gather useful information in regards to how you’d perform on the job.

Good Sources O Instructors and other “appropriate" Staff O Past and Present Employers O Industry Contacts O Vendors and Customers

Reference Checklist Ask permission first. Once permission is received, be sure to verify all contact information. Supply the reference a copy of your resume. Keep them posted on your activities. Let them know that an employer may be calling. Thank them!
