When someone agrees to be your referee, they should be ready to answer phone calls or emails about you. If you're applying for lots of jobs, you don't have to let them know about every single application. Just tell them you're looking for work so they know they might get a call. Most job advertisements tell you how many referees are needed. If it's not specified, the usual number is two. Only send a written reference if you're asked to. Most employers usually talk to referees in person or by telephone.
Usually, you put referee details at the end of your resume. There are two ways to do this. You can either:. If a job advertisement specifically asks for referees' contact details to be provided, make sure you include them on your resume.

Being asked to provide a reference with no prior warning is not pleasant and could mean they are not prepared and this may result in less positive feedback. That way, the referee can prepare their statement before a potential employer contacts them. The more preparation a referee is able to do, the better their reference is likely to be. Provide as many ways of contacting each referee phone, mobile, email, company address as possible.
The job market is mobile and people move jobs all the time — so relying on being able to contact someone who worked with you still at that organisation is not a good idea. LinkedIn is an excellent way to keep in contact with past colleagues.
Keep your referees up to date with your job hunt and let them know the outcome, whether you get the role or not. If they do supply a reference, make sure you take the time to thank them for their input. However, most will send over a reference request form at the very least and TPP always recommends that our clients check references for candidates prior to offering them a role.
Previous employers have to provide a reference Organisations only have to provide a reference if there was a written agreement that they would do so, or they are in a regulated industry, eg financial services. If they genuinely feel you are not suited for a role, they can say so, and they can include details about your performance and if you were dismissed from a job.
However, most referees are unlikely to agree to give a reference for you if they feel it would be a bad one. However, you have no right to ask a referee to show you their reference, and if they have requested that their reference is not to be disclosed, your current employer may refuse to show it to you. How many years have you known this person? These qualities could include things like dedication, communication skills , leadership abilities , positive attitude, efficiency, commitment to quality and other relevant soft skills.

I have known Manish Patel for more than seven years. He and I met while volunteering as mentors for the local chapter of the Boys and Girls Club and he also offered his consulting services to my small business, helping me improve my website and increase web traffic.
He is also compassionate, kind and never misses the opportunity to help others. Once, while we volunteered together at the Boys and Girls Club, the events coordinator became very sick. Manish is the type of person you can count on to keep a cool head in a stressful situation, and his positive attitude is contagious.
For these reasons, I recommend Manish for the marketing manager position and believe he would be a valuable asset to any organization fortunate enough to have him on their team. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Emily Costa emilycosta email.
Susan Cook has been on my club soccer team for the last 3 years. Her passion for teamwork and comradery have been inspirational to our club soccer team. For example, after losing two important games back-to-back, Susan felt that the team needed to re-connect and re-focus. She organized a teambuilding activity for the following practice that brought the team closer together.
It is this type of proactiveness that I find invaluable to the team. When Susan informed me that she was interested in volunteering at your organization I was delighted. I am confident in her commitment and enthusiasm towards this opportunity. I highly recommend her.
