What to do about limited professional references? I’m a soon to be graduate and I’ve been running into a common problem that has been arising. Many of the jobs I have been attempting to apply to require three or more professional references. The problem is I have had the same job during the entirety of my college career. Due to this I only have one professional reference as I have had the same manager during that time. What should I do about this? Are there other professional references I am just not thinking of?
