References on a Resume

Many people wonder if they should be including references in their resume. Some favor adding them, others shy away.

With resume's being posted online at websites such as www.monster.com or www.careerbuilders.com, identity theft becomes a concern. Also email harvesting programs often target these web sites in order to add to spam lists.

So, I lean towards leaving them off of your resume. Most online job applications allow you to enter in references so they are not needed on your resume.
