Many job seekers treat their references the same way they treat their resumes – an integral part of the recruitment process they wish they didn’t have to manage.
Do not let your reference management become a weakness for your job search.
Here are four action points to ensure your success:
Do not submit your references until your are asked. This will allow you to main some control ofthe process and help you understand where you stand

- When you ask your references to serve, explore your experience with them, strengths, and weaknesses. Pin down what they liked about you.
- Select references from all angles: a superior, a peer, and a subordinate. Include a fourth in case there is a problem in contacting one. Always provide the recruiter their email address to facilitate the call.
- Do not submit your references before you are asked. This way, you will know where you stand in the process.
- Alert your references before they are called. Tell them about the job, the questions they may be asked, and remind them of your successes on those points.
