This question is about no references job.
Can you get hired without references?
No, you can't get hired without any references in most jobs. However, you shouldn't panic, as there are various people you can use as a reference. Always remember that a reference doesn't have to be your previous employer!
Instead, think about anyone you know who's an Academic reference, Character reference, or Professional reference. Not sure what we mean? Here are some examples of each:
Academic References. Academic advisor, professor, classmate, lab instructor, principal, guidance counselor, teacher's assistant.
Character References. Sports coach, community leader, minister, neighbor, a colleague from volunteer work, anyone who you've helped.
Professional References. Mentor, former supervisor, team leader, job coach, coworker, hiring manager, internal references.
