Hint #5 - Reference Line at the Bottom

This line is no longer needed. People put down "References available upon request". When you go for your interview, the hiring manager....if they are impressed...will ask you to complete an application. Not only will you be asked for references THEN, but you will be asked to sign the application along with identifying those references and managers you don't mind them calling.

Worst yet, do NOT list references on a resume. It gives license for the recruiter to contact them at will and ask about you without your knowing it. They may even try to recruit the reference!!

Stay tuned for more hints....
