[QUOTE="Jamminontha1, post: 71445510, member: 399680"] I actually work as an Office manager, but got my start as an admin assistant. I don't know what to do with the references field. If I were you, I'd still list relatives still. Any type of service your performed for them for money would suffice. They are mostly looking for someone who will judge you based on your quality of work or skills instead of your character. Most employers ask you to fill out applications and attach resumes because a lot of resume technology (HRIS) is automated. They look for keywords in your application to find out if you are a preliminary good fit. Think of it like a robot looking at your application. If the system thinks you are a good fit, you come up as a potential interviewee and then your actual resume is looked over. What I do when applying for jobs is I start by looking at job descriptions and required skills. Then I take those skills and try to list them for each of my employment history fields. Work the system. [/QUOTE]
