Sample References List

(take your version with you to your job interviews)

 

A reference list is a separate document from your resume.  You can offer it to the interviewer at the end of your interview and it makes you look prepared, professional, and interested in the co-op!

 

Set up the format of this document so that it matches your resume, including your name, address, and phone.  Include each person's title, organization, work address, daytime phone.  List 2-5 people. You MUST ask them first!

 

The best references are (sort of in this order, but it depends):

·         Current and/or former supervisors

·         Professors (ones who know you well from career-relevant classes are ideal)

·         Contacts you have in the field
