Reference Check:

• Assume your references will be checked
• Ask permission before listing someone as a reference
• Make sure your references are comfortable speaking on your behalf.
• Keep them up to date on your accomplishments.
• Keep your references informed—make sure they have your updated resume
• Choose references based on job requirements
• Choose references who know you and who will give you a positive recommendation –you don’t want someone to say, “You’re calling about WHO…?”
