References
When you are applying for a job, it is common that the employer asks for one or two references. With the aid of references, they want to form a picture of how you work in different situations and who you are as a person.
A reference need not be a person from employment but may as well be a teacher, classmate, or someone else that can give information about you. Do not forget to contact the persons in question and ask if they accept to act as your referenceperson.
You do not name your references in the application but may instead choose to do so in connection with the job interview. Mention in the application that references can be provided on request.
If you name your references on your application, enter title, address and telephone number, preferably to both work and home. You can also add what kind of relationship you have to the person, such as "my previous managing director" or "classmate".
