Jobs & Education

References

I have a job interview at a retail store and the manager asked me to bring two references. The problem is that i have no job or volunteer experience and i have never participated in any camp or sport events, so i don't know who i can use as a reference. I wanted to use my teacher, but now that school is out; that option is impossible. I wanted to know if anybody had any suggestions on any people that are suitable as references, im kinda hesitant to use friends and family? Any Ideas??????

I get the impression that you might be from the States ?

Does your family not have any contacts / friends who are police or headteachers, doctors etc. Employers usually accept references from such people.

References should be from someone who can vouch for your honesty/reliability and dilligence. Your local shop-keeper, barber/hairdresser, publican anyone who runs a business and can call themselves a director.

That should put the 'shop manager' in his place!
