I’m currently in the process of interviewing for an entry-level position as a component overhaul mechanic, and I’ve hit a bit of a snag. The company is asking for three references, but I’m struggling to come up with anyone I can confidently list. I don’t have previous employers to rely on, and I’m not sure who else would be appropriate. I’ve considered putting down friends, but I’m worried that might not be the best route. I’ve seen suggestions about using old teachers, tutors, or even acquaintances like a doctor or someone from my community, but I’m not sure if those would be taken seriously. Has anyone else faced this issue? How did you handle it? I really want to make it to the next round of interviews and land this job.
