thanks

Answer #2

Sure, let’s see; do you have any adult friends such as a teacher, doctor, neighbor who can say some things nice about you? Target those kinds of people. And let them know that you are going to put their names down on your applications as a reference, but ask them first. Good luck :o)

Answer #3

A neighbor, a church person, a friend of the family, someone who knows your character and can relay your good qualities to a hiring company.

Answer #4

teachers

Answer #5

Yeah, go for teachers. I used my band teacher and my TAG teacher. just make sure they know, of course.
