Generally speaking, up to 4 job references is good.


If you have more references to list, the CV can become cluttered and increase in size. To make it easier for the employer, listing up to 4 references is ideal. In the CVs that we write, sometimes we include a small asterisk at the bottom of the professional referees list stating that additional contact references are available upon request.


If you would for your CV to be appraised, please feel free to contact the team at Client Centric Executive Employment Solutions.
