Or will &#8220;References Available Upon Request&#8221; suffice?<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>A: Opinions vary on this topic. If you have a reference at each position, what I recommend is that this be included within the description of each job, possibly under dates of employment. If you are going to put &#8220;References Available Upon Request&#8221;, I personally find that that space is better suited with putting actual references.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Q: I&#8217;m unsure of whether to use Facebook, MySpace, or Linkedin for finding jobs. What do you recommend?<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>A: Linkedin.com is one of the most popular sites for what I like to call &#8220;grown-up social networking&#8221;. Finding business leads, reconnecting with colleagues, and getting recommendations are just a few of the great features this site offers. If you are going to use any of these sites, it is important to maintain a professional presence. If you have pictures or comments you don&#8217;t want others to see, either leave them off the sites to begin with, or use the robust privacy tools on each of these sites to block out what you don&#8217;t want others to see and possibly hold against you.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Q: What is the most effective question you have asked or been asked in an interview?<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>A: There are too many to mention, but I&#8217;d say in terms of effectiveness, the open-ended question is the most effective question method one can use. By asking people hypotheticals (tell me about a time when&#8230;, how would you handle a situation where&#8230;), you can identify experience, character, and ability to think on one&#8217;s feet.<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Do I need to list references on my resume?
