Email How can I add References to my resume?

In most cases, it’s better to provide your references on a separate document, not on your resume. However, some employers request that you submit references as part of your resume document.

To do so, you’ll first need to add a References heading to your resume.

Here’s how it’s done:

  • Open your resume and click Headings. The Change Headings box will open and you'll see two columns: Available and Assigned. The Assigned column shows the headings that currently appear on your resume; the Available column shows other headings that you can add to your resume. The right and left arrows between the columns allow you to move headings from one column to the other.
  • Scroll down in the Available column and select References, then click the right-facing arrow (located between the columns) to move References into the Assigned column.
  • The References heading will appear at the end of your resume. To move it to a different position, use the up-and-down arrows (located to the right of the Assigned column) to change the order of the headings.
  • Click Save. (You should now see the new References heading on your resume.)
  • Click Add under the References heading and write in the names, contact information, and other appropriate information for each reference.
  • When you’re done, click Save.
