References can boost your credibility! ResumeGyani shows you the best way to handle references in 2025.

Should You List References?

Most employers don't require references on the resume itself. Instead, have a separate list ready. Use the phrase 'References available upon request' if space allows, but it's often unnecessary.

Keep references off the main resume
Prepare a separate document
Only provide when asked

Tip: Focus on resume content, not references!

How to Format References

When requested, list each reference with: Name, Title, Company, Email, and Phone. Always ask permission before sharing someone's details. ResumeGyani provides a clean template for reference lists.

Name and title
Company and relationship

Pro Tip: Keep your reference list updated!

Choosing the Right References

Pick references who can speak to your skills and character. Prioritize recent managers, colleagues, or clients. Avoid family members. ResumeGyani helps you select the best references for your field.
