Zhou Zhou listed references at the end of his resume, so potential employers would call references first to get to know Zhou Zhou. Unfortunately, a referee's doubts about Zhou Zhou's reliability attracted the attention of the employer, so he cancelled the interview. In fact, it was later discovered that the introducer did not remember who Zhou Zhou was and confused him with another person.

Discussion: Letter of recommendation will play a key role in someone's decision whether to hire you or not. When you are asked to prepare a list of references, you should let these people know that you have listed them as references, and they will highly praise you as a private and former employer. The above negative examples warn job seekers not to do anything.

When the interviewer asks you for a letter of recommendation, it is a good signal that you may get the job, or at least that you have entered the finals. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare three or five job-related letters of introduction in advance, print them on a piece of paper separately, and be ready to give them to the interviewer at any time.

Each referenced information shall include:

□ Name

□ Job position

□ Relationship with you (such as former boss, former senior high school English teacher, colleagues or other people who know you)

□ mailing address, including postal code

□ Telephone number, including area code

Inform referees in advance that someone will contact them. Sometimes, a job opportunity is lost because the referee is unprepared when he suddenly receives a phone call from a former employee, or the answer is incoherent, so that the potential employer will know that you didn't inform your referee in advance. Most employers are willing to talk to people you have worked with. The former boss is the best candidate. Only when you lack references, use colleagues as references. At the same time, make sure that every referee understands the importance of being a referee, and impartial and neutral people will not play any role.

Finally, remember these two points:

1. Don't give extra information on your resume beyond that required by potential employers. If they want it, they will naturally ask.

2. Let them prove to potential employers that your qualifications are first-class. If you are the best person for this job, don't go for an interview.

Truth: listing references on your resume will undoubtedly give potential employers a chance to verify these references, and may make you "die before he conquers"-he excluded you from the interview.
