Professional References Format

When you provide a list of professional references to an employer, you should include your name at the top of the page. Then list your references, including name, job title, company, and contact information, with a space in between each reference.

Include at least three professional references, who can attest to your ability to perform the job you are applying for, on your list.

Here's how to format a list of professional references for employment or business purposes.
