You generally do not need to use valuable resume space listing references unless the employer specifically asks for them. Keep a separate reference sheet with names, roles, contact information and your relationship to each person. Before giving those details to an employer, ask the reference for permission and give them context about the job, why you are interested and which parts of your work may be most relevant. That preparation helps the reference give a more specific answer. If a process is moving toward the final stage, a quick heads-up is considerate even if the employer has not yet confirmed that calls are coming.
