Updating CV - should references be "on request"?

[KatanaDV20]

Hallo all

Well Im fed up of my bum job and wanna start sending out the CV. Im not sure what to put down in the References section though. I can give all my references but what about my current boss

Should I leave it as "On request" . Or do I ask the boss if I can use his name as a reference cuz Im applying.

I guess Im asking if its a bad idea to put "on request" down...do those CVs just get binned cuz they might think "hes not upfront with the references".

Confused lol

Thanks for all the advice everyone, its really helped. I shall leave them on as request. As u lot said - if they wanna know who the referees are they can contact me first!

Thae hardest part for me is keeping the dang CV short, I need to cut it down to 2 pages, right now its like 4 Far too long and will get binned in 5 seconds!

Is there any need to waste a line saying 'referees available on request'? Surely its common sense that if they should wish to contact a referee, they'd just ask you?

Thats very true come to think of it!

At least Im not as bad as some of my mates who put in big bold letters on the first page:

Curriculum Vitae

*Doh*
