CV: References

[Clippy]

As no one automatically includes details of their references on their CV, do you include a line similar to the below or not bother at all?

REFERENCES

Available on request

References are always available on request?

I don't bother writing anything about references on my CV. I don't think there are many contractors out there who wouldn't provide references on request so I don't bother to mention it.

That's what I do.

Nope, it goes without saying, IMO.

[Clippy]

That's what I do.

As do I.

Nope, it goes without saying, IMO.

Which is now what I am thinking - also saves space.

I don't mention references. I don't have any, and I wouldn't make them available on request even if I did.

REFERENCES

Don't bother at all. Had enough trouble squeezing my cv down to 3 pages as it was. I figure if people want references they'll ask for them. And I always make it clear to agencies that references will only be given following an interview and a formal offer of a contract.

Rarely get requested for them - if an agent / client wants them, all they have to do is ask.

Save space on the CV by not including any mention of references

Dont make any reference to references on my cv.

As do I.

And what about DOB - include or exclude ? I do include.
