Ok. I'm supposed to give a list of references.. and so far I only have 2.. should I have any more? (these aren't past employees; just friends of the family). Well, I sorta worked for one of them..

And if so, who should I add?

if resume, don't add, just say will provide references if needed

This isnt the resume.. this is for the place I went to an interview with.

Just put "References available upon request"

You're working with a limited amount of space, so no need to put anything that will be done after the first interview (I.e. checking up on your previous work experience).

*edit* Is it for clearance? If so, it should say how many they want.

i think the usual number is 3 references.

isn't it usually better to give non-family members as references?

They're not family members. They're friends of the family. Sorry, worded that wrongly.

Reminds me of the dilbert strip, where dogbert goes for an interview and says that he has experience in CIA.

And in case anyone asks for references, dogbert was instructed to kill them. 😛

If you only have two, do you have a teacher in a subject close to the job? Two references might seem a bit sparse.
