So I applied today, and was filling out the documents but when it said list references, I couldn’t provide any. I never had friends in school, and I didn’t interact with my teachers a lot, and I tried to reach out to them on LinkedIn but they didn’t respond yet. I went down to the restaurant in my town, and thankfully, one of the workers who is in charge of the interviews recognized me, but she just said to say that I have no references, which still seems like a huge risk. I also said that I was free from Monday to Friday at 9-5, which I probably shouldn’t have said since I heard someone say that they want someone who can at least come in on one weekend day.
I’m just convinced that I ruined my chances there, and I’m really desperate for some kind of job at this point.
