I have no references!?! and I cant put down relatives!?! HELP!?

Question

I filled out an application a couple days ago to Tim Hortons. I accidently put my fathers name and number, my grandmothers name and number. I accidently forgot to put my aunts number though. I then read "please do not list relatives" on the top and as I read it I clicked submit and the application submitted!

What if they call me for an interview and want references? I have none! I dropped out of high school last year because of social anxiety. I have never played any sports, I was always shy and quiet in school! My grades were always F's

I always help my aunt and grandmother out if they need help though. I always mow my grandmothers grass because she isnt allowed to do it nomore! But I probably wouldnt be able to say her name because shes a relative.

BTW, this would be my first job! I have no work experience!

Answer 1

Does your grandma have a friend that would be a reference, that way they can talk about what you do for your grandma. Any family friends, especially a professional that you could ask. Also clergy people work well too. Have you volunteered anywhere? Was there one teacher that despite your grades you got along with? With no work history, references become more important. If you can't get a job, because of the lack of references, try volunteering somewhere to get some experience and some good references.

Answer 2

hmmmm how about a priest/reverand? Or someone in the community like a doctor or police officer or something?

if you had a favourite teacher or someone like that they could give you a reference.
