Remember, resumes and cover letters are like fingerprints. Each one is and should be very different in order to reflect your personality. Use these samples as guides, rather than absolutes. Also, put together a list of 3-5 references. You want to make sure you make the process of contacting references as user-friendly as possible.
Some employers like to fax reference forms, others like to call or utilize e-mail.
Whatever their preference, you want to make sure they do not have to take the time to call you to get information that should have been on your reference list. In addition, you should make sure you put a heading at the top of your reference page that includes your name at a minimum. I recommend that you use the same format used at the top of your resume. The stapled pages of resumes and references sometimes get seperated. This can cause an organization to lose track of which reference sheet belongs with the respective resume.
