Yes you certainly should ... Even if you are not putting any reference, please make it clear that they can always request for the reference details from you should they require it ...

It may be a good practice to include the type of references in you CV such as academic reference/employer reference and etc smile.gif

I think it depends on who you are handing in your resume to. If your resume is already very close to exceeding two pages, just insert a simple line that says "References will be provided upon request" or something like that.

But I heard from some seniors said that it's not a necessary.

Another question, it is advisable to cramp everything you wanted to put into your resume in 2 pages for fresh graduates.

Research shows that CV with 2 pages will mostly have it fully read ... Anything more than that might discourage the interviewer to read all of them ... (sorry, I can't show any prove as I read this on a career magazine sometime ago) ...

Instead of cramping, try including all the necessary skills the employers are looking for ... Discard the pointless things which does not contribute anything at all ...

Another thing is job experience, this is somethign I think which is rather important and it might be helpful if you include job experiences which are relevant to your current job application smile.gif

All the best to you ...

What I heard is that 3-page resume is fine if you're experienced, potential employee to the new organization. You have been involving in the workforce for quite number of years.

I think it is perfectly fine but being able to provide all your information on 2 pages while keeping it neat and precise is a skill which HR recruiters look at as well. Some information need not need to be included in the main area such as your personal information can be slotted into the header sections which allows more space for your resume.

Another tip is to use phrases like "referrals will be provided upon request" or anything for that matter so that you do not waste space writing out your referral's contact details.

In my opinion, I would go for two pages. It shows that you are not that long winded.

If you want to include in your part time employment history, include in the relevant experience you gained through them that you think might be useful for the company you are applying for.

For fresh graduates, do we need to include strong subjects that we learnt during our courses? Like name five of the strongest subject.

About the reference part, Mavik, do you meant it's just optional.

Besides, how about the Skills and Languages section?

Thank you for your guys replies as I'm kind of new in writing a miracle masterpiece that could stunt my potential employer. notworthy.gif

Usually I wouldn't want to put the subjects I took or what marks I scored on them. I usually just put my final marks but you may mention certain projects or assignments that may be relevant to the job you are applying for.

^That makes sense since there're a lot of subjects were being learnt throughtout the 4/5 years.

How about the Reference and Skills & Languages section?

Skills and languages should be included as they are fairly important especially if you include programming skills, computing skills, knowledge with the basic microsoft office tools or cullinary skills, it all depend on your job scope.

As for references, its good to have them but you do not really need to include them all in your resume. As I have mentioned, a simple line such as "References will be provided upon request" would definitely help you save space as well as inform the HR recruiter that you do have them as well.

Might I suggest that you also include in of how you picture yourself, such as integrity, professionalism, team work abilities, and others.
