Don't forget to thank your references once your current job search is complete. Some companies never contact any references, some only check the first one or two, and some check all. Regardless, these people were willing to help you, and thanking them is simply a common courtesy.

Make sure that you've asked permissions before you include people as references: don't assume that they're willing to write you a letter of support, that they'll write you a favorable reference, or that they have time to write you a reference. Such assumptions will inevitably backfire. And if you list people without their permissions, even if they are willing to serve as a reference, they probably won't be prepared to talk about you if people call asking for references.
