Mortymoto's journey

I'm currently in the process of looking for a new job after spending the last three years in my first professional role since graduating college. My background mainly consists of retail work during college, so my job history is not very extensive. I have two bosses from my current job who could serve as references, but I'm hesitant to use my current boss because if they receive a call, it would reveal that I'm job hunting, which could create tension at work. I'm concerned that having only one reference might hinder my applications, especially since many employers request 2-3 references. I'm seeking advice on how to navigate this situation.
