4 Part Series - Tips for a Writing a Winning ESL Resume

Part 2 - Proper Reference Selection

------------------------------------------------------------

As you probably already know, one of the important components to any successful job search is whom you select as references. These references can change your candidacy from being a good to an excellent candidate...or it may take you out of the running. Before naming individuals as references, it makes good sense to discuss it with them to make sure they are comfortable providing a great reference, not just a mediocre reference. It also guarantees that they will be fully prepared if a potential employer calls to ask about your work ethic and abilities. Choose your references carefully. Select individuals who have known you for a significant period of time (at least a year or more) and are familiar with your skills, abilities, and significant accomplishments, especially as they apply to the position you are applying for. Previous colleagues, supervisors, and clients make good references. If they aren't comfortable about providing a great reference, that is okay, as least they let you know and you can spend time locating a better source. Once you have located all your references keep in touch, let them know how your search is going. It is also important to thank your references for their help.
