Really? I've never encountered that at any job (not that I would advise anyone to lie about it.)

OP, having your email address and first name visible on the images you posted may not be the best idea.

Oh also, I would not use a hotmail address. That is very unprofessional and reminds me of 1998. Get a gmail account. If I was hiring that would big put-off for me.

You don't need references on your resume. Typically if they want references they will ask for them.

no you really do need refernces on your resume. a resume without references would be treated as suspect. the references are your independant validation of what you've said. otherwise i could claim i'm the president of namibia

I have never put references on my resume and I hold a software engineering position at a good company. If someone is interested in you, or they specifically want them, they will ask for references.

Also, references are a separate part of an application. They are generally not included on a resume. Most hiring manager know they may specifically request references. There is no need to even put 'references available upon request' everyone knows this already

You will not get a job without your HS diploma on your resume. Whether you lie about it or not is your choice, but if it's not there you almost certainly won't be getting a job unless it's doing construction or something like that.

Where would I put my HS diploma on my resume?

I put

Quote:

Education: 2009-2012

My Highschool, location

wouldn't the dates signify I graduated on time or have a diploma? Or would I simply have to put "HS Diploma" under a achievement section?

dot points take up alot less space then full sentences/paragraphs, easier to read and comprehend.

also, i dunno, as far as i'm aware references are essential. like to the point that you cant get jobs out here without references, or are severely prejudiced for not having references. i know waht you mean about saying if they are keen to hire someone they will. but really, anyone can present as anything in a few 15-45 minute interviews. thats why they need the references, to prove ones track record and get independant verification of that person and what they claim.
