In drafting a resume, you need to include references from current and previous employers. You do not necessarily put it immediately on your application but you can indicate that it will be furnish upon the employers request. They are required if you are applying for a job so that employers have an idea on how you work as well as your skills and abilities. They would also like to know if previous employers are recommending you for a job.
First, determine who would be your references. Make a list who you would indicate as a reference along with their company, position and contact details. It is usually previous supervisors as well as co workers who you have worked closely with. Choose people who have positive feedback on how you work and those who you get along.
Ask for consent. Referees are sometimes being called upon by companies you are applying for. So it is good that you let them know that you are indicating them as a referee. You also ask permission if it is okay for companies to contact them regarding your work experience.
Lastly, thank them for their cooperation and keep in touch. You might need their assistance again in the near future.
