>Please include 3 referees in your application
Anyone else automatically eliminated from these jobs?
How do I acquire referees?
I have been put as the reference for over 30 applications.
Never once have I been contacted by someone else's employer. I've never even heard of someone being called for that.
Just right the names of friends and say they where co workers in your lawn service or some shit.
What sort of jobs are you applying for?

I've definitely had people contact my referees. I wouldn't make them up just in case they do contact them.
if it's professional references then you'd want to volunteer somewhere for them and if not; talk to your teachers if you are/were a hard worker. I've used a teacher from 3 years back as a reference and I haven't and still don't have issues getting calls back.

Do you have a part time job where you can ask your boss/manager/supervisor to be a referee? Do you have any teachers or tutors who you can ask?

I have one former employee that I use at the bottom of my CV.
Teachers have since forgotten about me.

No volunteer jobs? Did you work in a specific department for that employer so you could put your ultimate boss as well as your supervisor?

my referees were an old boss, my mom, and a friend who would claim to be another old boss if called.
literally none of them have ever received a call or an email. i manage an office now.

I was working for a sole trader, so there were no other employees aside from contractors that I didn't ever talk with.
Did some volunteer work when I was 16 at a stable, though that was almost 8 years ago now... is it wrong to put that on there?
