Job reference application question?

Marya Fehn: A reference is not necessarily a former co-worker, etc. It's a friend or person of respect (a clergy, professor, etc). I'd choose the ones who have the most important sounding occupations if possible

Shamika Schools: They usually want someone that you have had professional experience with, but if you have never worked you can use friends as your references. Just let they know to talk well about you when someone calls.

Lyman Gauld: but i don't have any friends who work yet, only my family members

Josefine Weekey: A reference is anyone who knows you well.Maybe you haven't had a job working for someone, but have you helped someone with construction, yard work, cleaning, filing? That person would know your work habits and could make a good reference. Your minister, a teacher, a long-time family friend, also make good references. Make sure you contact these people and get their permission to use them as a referrence beforehand. If you are fil! ling out a lot of applications, carry a 3 x 5 card with you that lists these references and their contact information (address, phone)....Show more

Anibal Scheid: you left very little info...because if your a child i might understand...but a lot of homeless men suffer from that illness

Moises Rupinski: Hmmm, usually I would suggest answering with, "Provided upon Request," but you don't have any to provide, period. How about a neighbor or teacher or your pastor. Ask them first, before you use them. If you can line someone up, then use "Provided upon Request."

Denna Prudente: Somebody who has a job and can comment on your character and how well you might perform as an employee. They usually ask that a reference not be a family member.

Carter Dewater: References don't necessarily have to be professional. If you have volunteered you can use members of the organizations that you have helped or if you are a student use your teachers. In all cases, ask ! for permission prior to using the person for a reference. This! is what I suggest as an experienced employment coach. Good luck!

Romeo Tinnea: If you have never worked before, you leave the previous employer section blank - or put N/A where the first employer name would go.Then expect this to be a question that comes up in an interview. But don't even think twice about this and don't try to twist the facts. You haven't had a job before. Each and every person with a job has been in your situation before.The one thing you can do is think of any relevant experiences which might apply to the job you're applying for. For example, working in the snack shack at school events or working in the student store would be relevant. So would working with/for your parents at their business - even if you were just doing chores rather than getting paid to do a job....Show more
