Resume references...?

Virgil Menefee: Usually the references are an after thought. You will get your job based on how you do in the interview. Be confident but not arrogant. Ask 3 questions to every 1 question the interviewer asks you.When you walk in and sit down and meet the interviewer. Before it starts ask them *Why would I work for you? what are the advantages of me working for this company?* Start with that they will talk about their company, make damn sure you know about their company before you go to the interview. Spend a hour on the net before you go in. After they are done explaining why you would like to work for them ask another question like you seem like *you seem like a nice person are most of your employees this way?*Just keep asking questions. If you walk out without a 3-1 ratio on your question to theirs you wont get the job. Dont grill them but show you are interested, how you show them are in questions.They will follow up on your questions only if they are intere! sted. I agree with the first poster on that, former jobs, teachers, ministers whatever. They just want to know you are real....Show more

Abby Herwood: Well....First there are some teachers and then other persons qualified to sustain your experience. And don't worry about the lack of experience. It's only appartent. You did do some things which can be considered as part of your work experience:http://www.cvtips.com/resume_references.html

Donte Hamme: -Teachers-Anyone you've volunteered for-Anyone with a notable profession (police officers, city workers, etc.)

Marna Liddie: I don't agree with the three to one ratio thing. You should ONLY do that when you have been in the professional world quite some time and have experience to back up why you would ask them questions like that. It is perfectly okay to ask questions, but not in the manner that it appears you are interviewing them. I had a few people do this to me and the only thing it did for me was let me! know that they would question every process, policy, procedur! e or anything they might disagree with. (for little or no reason than to be stronghanded) While all that do this may not truly be that way, the first impression is the only chance you have to make an excellent one. Go in confident and ask valid questions...ones that weren't covered or were unclear. Good luck....Show more

Jill Thomer: If you have done any volunteer experience, you can put those on your resume. (put it as experience and use the references)If you truly don't have anything, go for references from classes you've taken, personal friends (preferably people with some kind of job that will look credible to potential employers). You could put your pastor as a reference, too....Show more

Byron Fortmann: People you have done things for and done them well

Kelly Bistodeau: I recommend:1) Obviously the best people to put down are former bosses and co-workers. If you have't had a job before, I would put down teachers/professors, and other working profe! ssional friends.Just Be!...Show more
