Prove Your Worth- Professional Reference Pages
Yes, you have an amazing resume, and you’ve interviewed really well! As a matter of fact, I really think you are a good fit for the position. But with as many candidates interviewed for the same position today, I need something more.
To hire you, I need some really good references from you.
What I would like to see are some strong references from you to not only verify that you did what you say you did in your last job, but prove it!
Traditionally, Professional Reference Pages were available only upon request. What you need now is
a professional reference page that works for you and will stand out above all others.

While it's true that traditional reference pages are a thing of the past, personally, I would be shocked and grateful if I found this along with your resume:
A ‘Fill All Recruiters Requirements’ Reference page.
Even though the newest changes to references pages are adding email addresses, as a recruiter, I still have no idea who John Smith is on your reference page. You’ve given me his email address, but most companies are still looking to talk to a LIVE person to gather valuable information about you.
As the recruiter or hiring manager, I still plan on making a few calls.
But what is this? You’ve given me some valuable information to start off my conversation with John Smith? This is wonderful! Now I know when I call John, I can ask him exactly what type of a performer you are in any given situation. Most likely, I will ask about the projects you have mentioned on your professional references page.
Here is what a Recruiter or Hiring Manager would like to see step by step:
Professional References:
