References: How to list them

Hi Ev, 
Sorry to bother you, but I have a work related question and I thought you might be the best person to answer it. I am applying for a job, and it wants me to list the employer and position of each of my references. Should I list their current position, or the position they held when I worked with them?

Hi Julee, 
No problem on asking.
Always happy to help.
You can do either.
What I always do is list the person's title and company and contact information where they are now.
Name
Position & Company
Phone
Email
Then how I know them (i.e. supervisor at Company X).

Try to have at least three professional references for people that can attest to your work.
Don't use friends or co-workers who were not directly working with you (i.e. people who were just work friends). Don't use parents or preferably other family members (unless it is a family business).

Make sure all of your references know someone will be contacting them about you. Even ask what they might say. Also be sure to ask several people over the course of your career to be references.
This way you get people that know your current work, but also it is a great way to keep in contact with your network.
 
Good luck!
