Here's how to include referees inside your resume.

- Be sure to request permission of your referees before you nominate them in your job application.
- Keep your referees informed – they need to know what you are applying for so that they are prepared when an employer contacts them to find out more about you.
- Your current/most recent Supervisor/Manager is preferred. An Academic referee may also be suitable. Avoid personal referees.
- If possible, use Singaporean referees for a Singapore based job.
- If using an overseas referee we recommend email contact only.

A well put together resume is your opportunity to highlight all your past experiences and skills. It allows you to demonstrate that you would work well in the role and  that you would have what it takes to be a good employee. So let's get started.
