|  "References available upon request." Is this still "standard" canned protocol for the bottom of the resume? A few years ago every resume seemed to have it. I'm thinking about excluding it...or should I not? |

    | Re: "References available upon request." Not sure per FAA. But when I was looking for a job the past few weeks. The potential employers I was considering, asked for references to be included with app. And not avail. upon request. |

| Re: "References available upon request." I still put it, im sure it couldnt hurt anything. Just have an idea of who you would want references to be if they actually asked for them. |

| Re: "References available upon request." At the job seminars I went to before leaving the AF, they indicated that "references available upon request" is implied, and that they should NOT be part of the resume. HOWEVER... I'd go to the interview with a nicely printed sheet of them to hand them at that time.

| Re: "References available upon request." Really good question, I was wondering this too. I originally left it out and was then told by an XJT pilot to leave it in.

| Re: "References available upon request." Leave it out. I haven't been a hiring manager for an airline but I've been one for other companies. Whenever I saw that line I kind of smirked. Of course your references are available on request. Use that line to put in something else to sell yourself to the potential employer! |

| Re: "References available upon request." I left it off mine. It seems obvious that you could provide them if asked. |
