<p>Hi, I need to find 2 references for a new job. The thing is, this is my first job since graduation so I really have no work experience. Can you ask the professors you did internship with or even a work-study job? I'm just worried they are academic and they've only known me for a few months.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What is asking US going to do? Go ask THEM. They wont bite your head off, I promise. And if they are your only available references their applicability doesn’t really matter, does it?</p>
<p>You should use anyone who can speak to your aptitude, attitude, competency and work ethic. Use the ones who know you best… that could be a close friend, a professor, a TA, an old boss… anybody.</p>
<p>My references were a professor I did research for, a boss from my summer job the years prior to my senior year and the director of the campus group I was in. :)</p>
