Many people will include references on their resume. They’re usually listed at the bottom of the page, or on a separate sheet included with the resume. While people that do this may think it adds credibility to their job search, it really doesn’t. Unless you are looking for a domestic position where references are expected with the initial contact, you should save that information for later in the interview process.

Employers seeking someone to fill a position will almost never contact a listed reference before speaking with the job candidate in person at a job interview. They will only want to verify their opinion that you are a good candidate for the job after the interview.

The usual way to present your references is on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the first interview. Have several copies in case you are interviewed by more than one person. On this sheet you should include your contact information at the top, just like on your resume. Then list three or four references.

You can use this format:

Reference Name
Title
Company Address
Phone Number
Email address (optional)
Remember, only three or four, and make sure at least two of them are business references. You can also indicate if any of the references should be contacted at times other than regular business hours. It should go without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that the people you include should be aware that you are including them on your reference sheet.

One additional note: some people will include a line on their resume stating that references are available upon request. Although that line is not necessary, it’s won’t hurt anything to have it there, so it’s really your preference.

So, take the references off of your resume and put them where they belong; on your Reference Sheet. It’s a much more professional presentation.

More than dressing the part, you need to act the part. A huge part of the first impression you make is made before you open your mouth. In fact, it’s probably made no later than when you have crossed the office and shaken the hand of the person you are meeting – and very possibly long before that. It’s the result of the non-verbal communication that we all send and receive at a very visceral level.

Your presentation is in the way you hold your body, the way you walk, and especially the way you shake hands – it is using your whole physical being to express yourself and goes a long way to building your credibility. Without presence there is no credibility.

For success in the job search process you need to carry yourself like a successful professional person. The right “presence” can make up for a mistake in dress or other faux pas. Observe yourself. Are you confident and controlled? Those qualities present a strong presence while sharp, fast movements reflect nervousness and insecurity. Match your movements to your words to convey mastery of the subject. Less movement can sometimes be more. Don’t be wooden but do behave in a calm, in-control way. And do what feels right to you, regardless whether it works for other people.

For many decades now we have known the power of body language and a simple guide to some of the most common signals we send with our bodies is probably appropriate here.

· Sitting with legs separated indicates open or relaxed.
· Sitting with legs crossed, hands clasped behind head indicates superiority and arrogance.
· Tilted head indicates interest.
· A hand on the cheek indicates thinking or evaluating.

As the name implies, a theft attorney is an expert in cases when a person has been charged by a law enforcement agency for committing theft. If you (or someone you know) have been charged with this sort of crime, then it would be in your best interest to hire the services of such an attorney.

Regardless if the case against you is a misdemeanor or a felony, you will need protection from the sheer volume of documentation and interviews that the local law officials will send your way. From the police officers to the detectives to the prosecutors, they are searching for evidence to make a case against you if that evidence proves you did it. This does not mean that your case has been pre-determined. Rather, it is simply their job to gather up all the pieces of evidence together so that justice has been served. This is why it is so important for you to get the best help as soon as possible.

Upon the first indications of you becoming a suspect, you have the right to have a theft attorney present before any questioning is conducted. All law enforcement officials are aware of this, but there may be an occasion when they will continue to talk with you in the hope of engaging you, hoping you will reveal incriminating evidence. Once you have requested an attorney, they cannot ask you any questions involving your case, but talking to you is still within their legal purview. Being cooperative is important, but it is still appropriate to have legal representation present before making an official statement just to make certain procedure is followed and your rights are protected.
