Let's go ahead and get into the final section of of your resume because we've already done the hard part. This is the hard part of putting things together. I know it gets very tedious, but bear with me, there comes good out of it. When it comes to after finishing all your listing notes, after finishing all your summaries after crafting everything, you need proof just like a copywriter. They need proof they need testimony. And there are really only four kinds of testimonies that you can get, depending on what you've done and how you've done.

So if you have any awards, if you have any publications, if you have any honorable mentions. Now this can kind of be in somewhere where awards are given. You do want to put that in there. You do want to put that in there and you can actually put this into your career summary. So if you say something innovative and dynamic lead generation specialist and closer, who has made Employee of the Month five times in a row in three years breaking a record, you can put that in your career summary. And that's perfectly okay be willing to bend the rules understand that there are rules, and then there are exceptions.

You want to be the exception and not the rule. So be willing to kind of be risque on your on your summaries and your descriptions. When it comes to your proof. The awards and publications and honorable mentions, whether in academia or you're talking to somebody who's trying to get like a like academic job or anything like that, be you can, you can either put this in your career summary or you could create separate sections. Of course I have the template out for you. So adjust that as you see fit, but this is going to be part of your proof for success.

Description or for said a job opportunity that you that you had. But the last thing that you do want to put are your references. Now your references are going to play a very important role for the employer to see if you are who they are really talking about. And this is to ensure what kind of employee you are. They want to see how you worked and you know if there was any particular reason why you left the job, and you want to break it down into three people, I always say this, this is the beauty of of the resume. And you always want to put this either on a separate document but never on the resume.

Now you can do this but make sure that it's very professional. I prefer that if you're going to create a reference list, keep it as a separate document so you have something extra to give your employer you're always gonna want at least one mentor Three colleagues, or peers. And I'm not necessarily an acquaintance, but you do want a really good friend. And I say this because when it comes to your references, they want to see if you're coachable, which would be your mentor. If you have more than one mentor, go for it. Please, by all means go more mentors.

I know a lot of people don't, but I do want you to know that that that's always a good thing to have. When it comes to colleagues or peers. People want to know whether it's for the previous job or current job, they want to know how well you work. And if you can't find any of those, if you only find one, one and one, make sure this is a really good friend that you can rely on. If this is the kind of friend to say Who is that? Probably not not the best idea.

But again, guys, this is a this is a rather short section because This, this key factor really goes to your judgment on your work ethic and how you work. This is why it's very important for you not to burn bridges. But if worst case scenario one, one and one and you should be good because you do want at least three references. But but the the golden standard would be five references. So essentially guys, that's essentially that that wraps up this this section I know it's short, it's simple. You can either do this again, as I said on a separate sheet of paper as I prefer, or you could put it on your resume, but again, it is your judgment call.

Note that I will give you the reference list template that I use and with the description on how to to pretty much have that it's going to be pre formatted. Are you ready? It's gonna be pre formatted for you already. And other than that, let's go ahead and get on to the next section.
