This is an optional category in which you can list your student activities or your personal hobbies. This section can help an employer gain a broader picture of who you are. If you have considerable student honors or scholarships, it may be more beneficial to include these under your coursework section. You will need to locate three people that will say good things about your work performance. They should be representative of your academic and work experiences.
Examples are advisors, supervisors, and teachers.
Stay away from character references like friends of the family, unless requested specifically. These people might be just a tad biased. Share your resume with all of your references so they will be better equipped to speak with a prospective employer. Typically, at the interview you would share a references list with the employer. On this list, you will want to make sure that you include all pertinent information for contacting the reference.
