Abstract
This article reports the results of an empirical investigation of the preferences of personnel managers in Fortune 500 firms concerning the value of references on resumes. The study was conducted by a group of students and 228 of the 500 managers responded. The findings show that applicants should not include references in their resumes but should indicate that they are prepared to provide references upon request. The findings also show that references are of great importance in obtaining interviews and positions.
