Usually people want 3 right? What if I don't have 3?! D: And who do I put down? Is my old boss and a lady I baby sat for okay?

Replies JennyColada Posted at 11:55 am on Aug. 19, 2008 There are two different types of references: Personal and professional. Professional references are people that you have worked with, that can vouch for how good of a worker you are. Personal references are people that you know, that can vouch for how good of a person you are. If you do not have enough (good) professional references, it should be fine to use personal references. A good friend's parent or a teacher may be a good reference. malignant melanoma Posted at 8:38 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Elephantis at 8:20 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Malignant Melanoma at 8:17 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Any neighbors? yeaaaaaah, but they're just friends.. i didn't work with them. Oh, because when I had to put references, they were people I knew, not my past employers. groovygirl Posted at 8:26 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Quote: from Elephantis at 4:13 am on Aug. 19, 2008 Quote: from groovygirl at 8:12 pm on Aug. 18, 2008 Over here you only need 2 refrences usually. Maybe it's different for you guys.    I would say that it would be fine for you to use them as your references. :)    Good luck tomorrow!    I La Senza. what if i use 2 diff baby sitters cause my old boss is an ass? I would imagine that is fine aslong as they are 2 different people. As my references for my job now I used my old boss and an actual neighbour. So I should image that is more that adequate.
