Meaningless phrases
such as "references furnished upon request"
can almost always be deleted from resumes.
This extra verbiage does nothing to increase or
improve an applicant's chances of getting a job
interview. Its absence is never missed. It is
unreasonable to imagine a scenario in which a
reviewer balks at a resume on their desk and
exclaims "FORGET THIS ONE! It doesn't have that
line about references ... on...request!!" In
reality, an employer expects to request
references. References should be given on an
application and/or during the interview process.
Since the resume's purpose is to get an
interview it is not necessary to take the
next step and pre-list your references before
you've even been interviewed and it is
even less necessary to inform a prospective
interviewer in writing -- on your resume -- that
"references are available on request."
Why is this such an important point? Regardless of how
much experience you have, a good
interview-getting resume will usually be made to
fit on one very full page. Inferior resume
services will often submit to creating resumes
that fill 2, 3 or even more pages out of
laziness. It actually takes
more effort to customize a good resume to fit
onto one page than it does to just let it take
up "as much room as it needs." In some ways, the
process is similar to film or book editing. Our
professionals first take time to write your
resume and then take additional time to edit out
/ adjust that which needs to be (and can be)
edited/adjusted to fit on one page. Too many
other services go out of their way to create
resumes the way their clients believe a
resume should be created. In contrast, we go out
of our way to create a resume in a manner
believed to get the attention of a prospective
employer; advising you as to the rationale
behind our editing decisions throughout the
writing process. If you insist on something
being included, we will of course---do so... but
not without first doing our job and advising you
as to the potential consequences of your
decision. In sum, we are committed to providing
the service you're hiring us to perform:
consulting, advising, AND professional resume
creation. Use our experience and our background
to improve the odds of finding a job!
