This is off a job application I'm filling out... FILL IN BELOW THE NAMES OF THREE ADULTS, NOT RELATED TO YOU & NOT FORMER EMPLOYERS, REFERENCES, FRIENDS, FELLOW STUDENTS, OR FELLOWWORKERS, NAMES LISTED SHOULD BE PERSONS WHO HAVE SEEN YOU DURING THE PAST YEAR. So I can't list Employers References Friends Fellow Students Coworkers So what the hell does that leave..my dentist? |

I always make up names for people I do know and add their numbers. Of course, that might not be smart for higher level jobs... -------------

The other day I had to list all of my residences and times I resided there for the past TEN YEARS in an application for a part time job.
I filled out an application for a national security clearance a few weeks ago and they only wanted seven years. |
