Need References for Job Application - 07-21-2009, 02:24 AM


One of the problems with not knowing anyone is that it is difficult to get job references. But, I'm applying for a job as an art model to the local colleges. How would I get professional references for that?

Perhaps you can get letters or phone #'s from some of the people who have commented on your posts in THF... Is it that kind of modeling?
What kind of references do they need?

That's what I was hoping, but THF isn't a chat forum, so I'm here.

I don't know. It's an online form for Collin College. I have to put the usual info, "Name, Company, Address, Occupation, Phone number, how we know each other." It's the same question regardless of the position for which I am applying, meaning that its applicability for an art model job may not be perfect.

put down people you know who act reasonably normal. That's all you need.

Thanks.

"Reasonably normal" and "stands naked in a room full of strangers" seems an odd match.

This thread brings to mind a fond memory of one of the greatest SNL cast members: Will Ferrell
