CAREER TIP OF THE WEEK:
Do not include references on your resume. Have a list of three or four references including name, job title, company, phone number and email address ready to give to interviewers if requested. Always notify those individuals in advance that they may be contacted by a potential employer. Use references who you know will give you a positive recommendation.
