Deangelo Marchak: Have you done any volunteer work? Have you helped with field trips and different things at your child's school? You could use those as references. You are going! to have to get really creative given your situation. Remember, once you have thought of at least three people, ask them BEFORE you list them if it's ok to use them as a reference.

Malcom Bourek: Don't list your current employer as a reference if you haven't informed them. Most applications will ask you if it is ok to contact current employer. As for the references, I would suggest sending 3 personal, and 3 business. This will cover all of your bases, and show that you can follow directions!!
