On a job application, what is a "title" for your reference? Their job title or what?
Title is their job title. For example: Name: James Smith Title: Basketball Coach Employer: Middleton High School Phone Number: 555-555-5555 Name: Anna Francette Title: Teacher (Social Studies) Employer: Middleton High School Phone Number: 555-555-5555
Do you have to provide references on a job application?
There is a job application (a form given to you by a potential employer or a recruitment agency that you need to fill out) and a CV/resume which is technically also a part of your job application.In general I would recommend never to provide references before you have an offer. Once you have the offer, your future employer (or an agency on its behalf) will initiate background checks at which point you will provide references along with your consent and inform your references that they will be contacted.I would never include references on the resume or provide them to a recruitment agency on a job application form. Technically your references are making you a favour. By giving out their names their privacy will be disturbed. They will start getting headhunting calls or if you are applying to too many jobs they will get bombarded with reference check calls.You may include them on a job application if it is absolutely required by the potential employer (e.g. references are a mandatory field to submit your application online).To sum up, I think the question is not whether your should include references in your job application but rather WHEN you should provide references. The rule of thumb is that your give your references after the offer or at least after a strong indication of employment.
What should I fill in reference for a job application?

Do I need to include references on my Google application?
You don’t even need to say “available on request.” That statement goes without saying. And you should never expose your references on a resume in that way. As you observe, you do not want random callers contacting your references.
Why do passport applications need references?
References are required to show that the person making the application is the person named in the passport. Without that anyone could request a passport in the name of a genuine citizen.
Internet references on job application?
I'm applying for a job with telefonica and on the form it asks for internet references, with a drop down box saying social page, home page, business network, blog, private (i.e club membership) and then a box for the URL. What is this for, what do I need to do here? I cant skip it as it says form incomplete
Police application - Character Reference?
What they are looking for in character reference is a letter from each of the three adults, who have known you probably at least a year who can tell the background investigator what good/excellent/positive character traits you have. A friend of the family/your parents who knows you. An upstanding neighbor who is a doctor, lawyer, business owner etc. who knows you. A police officer, district or states attorney who who knows you. (These are merely suggestions....anything along these lines.) Make a list of potential people with the help of parents, in laws or others that know people they could suggest. Don't be too picky, just get the list together and ask the ones you think may do it. The letter doesn't have to be long. The police just want to make sure you are not some "fly by night" con artist or jerk trying to get on their police department. Good Luck.
What is the point of listing references on a job application when employers know that you won't list anyone who will say anything negative about you?
The employer will most likely do two types of reference checks. The first one will be more “name, title, dates” by checking with the HR department that you worked there as you claim. The other is to have a more extensive conversation with someone who knows you well. In those conversations, I go deep into achievements and get a sense from the person what are your strengths. I also dive into areas to help us understand the best way to work with you. I typically ask, “what are a few things that I should be aware of in regards to your leadership style?” and “what are things you’ve seen XYZ improve in over the years?” and “what should I expect of XYZ as his/her leader in regards to getting results?” None of these are things to eliminate you from the selection process because at that point, we are really interested in you. It is to learn about you to prepare how to best integrate you into our team. However, if we have a red-flag, like we think you might be a bit abrupt for our culture, but, still really think you’d be a great asset to the team, I will ask your references something like, “We picked-up that XYZ might be someone who doesn’t beat around the bush and gets straight to the point…is that his M.O.?” And use that information to see how to best integrate you into our culture that might not be so direct. I hope this helps!
