I am starting a new career and need job reference help?

I recently graduated from college and now I am beginning a new career.I have no experience but have been able to get some professional references but I am still short one or two. I have asked a few college professors and got some responses but I am still lacking professional references. I am kind of at a lost and don't know what to do. It's hard when you have little to no experience and they don't allow you to use personal references. I need some advice on what to do.

    I suggest starting with your college professors and be persistent. Any professor that you felt a connection with or excelled in their class should be willing to give you a reference. If you have done work for anyone in the past, look there. If someone in your family or friend base owns a business or manages and you have worked for them or helped them on a project for work, this would constitute reason for a recommendation.

    Can you pass over your managers head to any one better? If the executive is only a line supervisor probabilities are selections similar to this are taken at a better degree than him besides. Do you will have any excursion left you might take to hide the shortfall to your become aware of? Unless you're going to lose out in a huge method financially simply inform them you're leaving and the date you're going. If they do not adore it what can they do, consume you? I had a task I detested as soon as and have been there for a even as, I simply phoned them up one Monday morning and informed them I would not be coming in ever once more. I did not lose out on any pay. As for references, as has been mentioned your present enterprise are not able to deliver a terrible reference, simply give an explanation for the occasions in your new enterprise. As for Fairfax, hard!!!
