How do you put references on a CV?

Here’s how to put references on a CV. First, ask your potential references if it’s OK that you include them as references. Include your references on a separate page from your CV and make sure it’s up-to-date and ready to give to employers.

Put references on a CV by including their:

  • First and last name
  • Job title
  • Company name
  • Company address
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Working relationship with you
