Sample Reference Sheets

Your reference sheet is important to have as well – like we stated earlier.  While this will not be mailed along with your resume and cover letter, you will still need to have it on hand during an interview so that you can produce it when your potential employer asks for it.

Here are some sample reference sheets for you when creating your own reference sheet.
