A referee is someone that the employer can contact if they wish to ask about or clarify something about you or your personality, job experience, skills etc. Therefore it is important that you state the contact details of referees which you list on your cv and ensure that they are people who will say good things about you, if you wish to receive the job.

It has become fashionable to put 'references on request'. Although there is a small possibility that your referee may be asked for a reference before you are offered a job, this is very unusual. Some employers like to see who your referees are in advance to check that you have put your recent employer down.
