References on a CV
Quite simple this one!
Don’t. Unless you are in education or in academia where it is considered usual.
The vast majority of employers will request references at the time a job offer is made.
The only things you do when putting references on a CV is to take up space and to run the risk of someone (that you don’t know) making contact with your current employer and causing you a massive problem.
Don’t even put that “References are Available on Request” – people know that this is the case and, again, all you are doing is using up valuable space.
The only exception to this rule is education and the academic world where it is considered usual to put down referees on a CV as it can add weight to a job application.
Be very careful about your use of social networking sites such as Facebook.
Employers, HR and Recruiters routinely look up job applicants on Facebook, Google, Bebo, MySpace etc, so you need to be careful about what you post on-line.
The following applies to all these type of site:
1) Clean up so-called “Digital Dirt” before you start applying for jobs. Remove photos, content and any links that are less than lily white.
2) Make sure any content is positive! If you write negative content then you will be seen as a negative person.
3) Watch out for what your friends say… People may write things about you that seem funny or amusing – but will an employer see them that way?
4) If you’re in a job - Do not mention your job search!!
Use of the “Third Person”
This is when you talk about yourself in the “Third Person”, i.e. writing something in your profile like:
“Nick is a strong manager, admired by all his colleagues”
Trust me, it makes you sound unhinged.
Much better would be:
“A strong manager, able to lead teams in achieving goals”
