What should a reference page look like for a resume?

A reference page for a resume should be an A4 page with the name and contact information of the candidate at the top, with a clear heading or title. To maintain a consistent structure it would be more professional to use the same style and layout as used on the resume for the name and basic details.

Can you get rejected after reference check?

There are a number of reasons why you can be rejected for a job, including after references have been checked. For example, it could be a matter of one or more of your references didn’t pan out. He or she might have experience in the job and/or something more closely related than you have.

At what stage are references checked?

Most employers will call your references only if you are the final candidate or one of the final two. Occasionally the final three or four. Every now and then an employer will check all the people they interview, although to me that’s inconsiderate of the reference.
