gabby 0 Posted February 27, 2013 I've never worked before. So on applications what do I put down for work experience? And for reference can I list down a family member? I don't talk to my professors much..new second semester..or a counselor(Only spoke to 2 diff. ones) & I dont keep in touch w. my h.s teachers no more.

kayej87 28 Posted February 27, 2013 So put that down also ask ppl where u volunteered if u can use them as a reference or ur church leaders and when u get a job interview explain to them that u just got ur work permit n that you are willing n able to take on Wat ever task they give you should you get the job ...you can also use a family friend as reference too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jose_Gee 27 Posted February 27, 2013 I wouldn't personally leave it blank, I worked with a few high school students before and we told them to write "N/A" meaning Not Applicable. Last thing you want to do is leave something empty. As far as references I would use a family friend who may have a good title that would vouche for you. You always want to use professional references if you have them available. If you don't have any, then use family. Make sure to provide as many references that they ask for. 1 engineer2mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinae 21 Posted March 1, 2013 Leave it N/A. Don't think a family members' number is a good idea for the reference. There are plenty jobs requiring no previous job experience, such as entry level medical billing recorders, pharmacy desk helps, and entry level patient care. Good luck.
