Week 3. - Thank you letter and 6 References.
Thank you letters.
Writing a thank you letter, or thank you email, after an employment interview is a must. In fact, some employers think less of those interviewees who fail to follow-up promptly. Plan to send out your thank you letters or thank you notes as soon as possible (preferably within twenty-four hours) after your interview.
Here is a great link on information about the importance of thank you letters.

A resume reference is some one who can verify your credentials and all or part of the information you have written in your resume. References are usually contacted in the last stages of the job selection procedure. Probably after the candidate has attended the first interview.
You have to know your references well and be sure that they can give a good feedback, to anybody asking questions about your past.
Resume references can be
* Former teachers or professors
* Clients
* Former project managers or supervisors
* Other contacts from industry associations
Great information about using references.
