  4. Contact Information: Include a phone number and email address.

  5. Relationship: A brief note on how you know the reference (e.g., former manager, colleague).

  • Limit Number: Typically include 2-3 references unless otherwise specified by the employer.

Having clear and professional references can positively impact your job application process.
