Question about Mailing Resume

When you mailed out your resumes, did you attach your list of references with it?


My brother started sending out resumes (just finishing student teaching) and sent out his list of references with his resume and cover letter.

I never did this, i always just waited for interview and then they ask for your references, my brother is arguing with me saying he doesnt see what the big deal is

I dont think its really wrong to attach it, but it just seems odd to me to send it with your resume

opinions?

I don't send out references with my resume.

Re: Question about Mailing Resume

you don't send references with a resume

and the majority of districts do their hiring online and will throw out paper resumes

Re: Question about Mailing Resume

i did, but only because my resume was a little over a page so, the references helped fill out the second page.

they often don't look at references until they're interviewing you and you're int he final stages, but i don't think it's wrong if they're on there. if anything, i think it shows that you have people that can vouch for what you have put on the resume.
