This section acknowledges that other people can attest to your work accomplishments or character.

References are rarely listed on a resume, although often "References available upon request" is the standard. A potential employer will generally request references if they are considering you seriously as a candidate, so be sure to have a list ready. Ask permission of your references beforehand and discuss the specifics of the recommendation they will give.

The References section of your resume can also have the following titles:

• Personal References
• Portfolio
• Professional Contacts
• Professional References
• Associates
• Referrals
