[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I've only worked for four families and I guess I'm handling references wrong. I generally just include my references in a little packet containing my resume, recommendation letters, documents, etc. I make one for very family and give it to them in the beginning for them to look through. A lot of families have really liked me bringing a packet and have complimented me on them. Do I take out my references sheet and hand it to them only if is a good fit? Or should I wait until after the interviewed and they ask for references?

I think the most difficult is many now are asking for references beforehand. I tell them I do not do that and they ask they ask me to bring it to the interview. [/quote]

Keep in mind that many of these people know nothing about having employees, okay OP? So they don't know what they're doing either. But the proper thing for them to do is to only call your reference if they think they want to hire you - calling the reference is basically a way for them to get confirmation that you are as good as you seem to be through the interview.

Just write on your resume "References will be provided upon request." [/quote]
