| I just use my UK style one.
I still have my UK-style attitude to agents when it comes to supplying references. Sorry BoyD, you know what I mean... 
I can supply chapter and verse if they ask... but no-one has yet.
Personally: I reckon (and there are far more experienced bods than me here) that the UK style CV is OK for the multi-nationals who are used to them. | |

No need to apologize, you are right to be cautious. I've heard all sorts goes on in some places, references only being asked for to chase leads and so on, not ideal practice, not at all!
Oral refs should be checked before starting work, I personally like to do it between the telephone interview and the face-to-face, helps with getting a quick, positive decision in my experience.
