eastofeaden Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hey everyone, Has anyone else in the past used a paid job's supervisor or manager for this reference? I'm a nontrad applicant who hasn't had significant volunteering after high school because I had to pay for my own education and later help support my family. I have only work references post high school. The paid jobs I've had all had a significant component of helping others and the community however. Just trying to think ahead in case I am lucky enough to get an interview. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kjay Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I really don't see a problem with it, the reference needs to be able to comment on your character/abilities/skills which can definitely be seen in a paid job, especially if your job involved community involvement and helping others, so in my opinion you should be okay!

eastofeaden Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks so much Kjay! Did you apply before with an employer as a community reference? Or if anyone else has done this please let me know. Low-key still paranoid about this. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
