 Thirty-one Placement Perspectives in 31 Days (some will be directed at Jobseekers and others at Hiring Managers).

Day 23.

"REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST" For decades, the school of thought was to include this line at the bottom of every resume. The light bulb finally went off that every candidate applying for new opportunities should have references available to share upon request so there really is no need to advertise this. Honestly, references are not as valuable as they once were but that is a separate topic! Even if all of your former employers have shut down, you should be able to find some former co-workers to vouch for you At the bare minimum, find some neighbors, colleagues on volunteer organizations or anyone else comfortable attesting that you are a solid person!
