Reference Letters

If you're interviewing for a new job, expect to have your references checked prior to getting an offer. Having good references can be the clincher to getting that new job.

Plan ahead and get your references in order, before you need them. It will save time scrambling to put together a list at the last minute. Keep in mind that good references can help you clinch a job offer, so, be sure to have a strong list of references who are willing to attest to your capabilities.

Compile a list of references and some letters of recommendation now, before you need them, so you're prepared when a prospective employer requests them.

Then review sample reference letters so you know what to expect from your reference writer.
