Which section functions as testimonials from other people about you?

• A. References
• B. Education
• C. Personal Information
• D. Hard Skills

Answer: (A)

References are the part of a resume or application where you list people who can vouch for your work and character. Those individuals provide third-party testimonials—what others say about you—based on their experiences with you. Having a references section gives employers a way to hear credible opinions from people who know you professionally, which supports the claims you make about your skills and reliability. The other sections describe what you studied, your basic personal details, or the specific abilities you possess, but they don’t involve third-party endorsements, so they don’t function as testimonials. Keep it updated, and choose referees who can speak to the most relevant experience.
