Gone are the days of "References available upon request"
Here's why:
Gone are the days of "References available upon request" taking up valuable real estate on your resume! Here's why:
✅ Hiring managers assume you have references. If they're interested, they'll ask for them at the appropriate stage of the interview process. Your resume space is precious - use it instead to showcase your achievements, skills, and the unique value you bring.
✅ Plus, it's a privacy best practice. There's no need to share your references' contact information before it's necessary. This protects their privacy and ensures they're only contacted when there's serious interest.
Focus on making your resume a compelling snapshot of your professional story. Save those glowing references for when they'll have the most impact - during the final stages of landing your dream role.
Need a new resume? You’re in the right place!
