I recently landed an interview for an entry-level position, which is exciting as I’m a senior in college. However, the company is asking for three professional references, and I've only had one job so far. I did not misrepresent my experience; they know I’ve only worked at one place. I'm also applying to grad schools, and since those programs are quite competitive, I want to secure a job that starts in May 2027, right after I graduate, in case I don’t get into grad school. This job would be a great fallback as it offers a stable and well-paying career. I’m hesitant to ask the three professors who are writing my letters of recommendation for grad school to also be my job references. The job isn’t directly related to my grad program, and I worry it might make me seem uncommitted or confused about my future. Should I just reach out to two other professors for references instead? I’m feeling really anxious about this situation.
