[QUOTE="radssss, post: 234752, member: 36365"] Yes I agree put n/a but do not put in a personal reference because if they find out that might not give a very good impression. I’m sure a lot of people don’t have work experience and that’s okay, they still get offers :) so you’re not gonna be disadvantaged! [USER=38512]@BobThebIlly[/USER] Also a lot of firms (most) don’t ask for reference till the offer stage, I’ve seen v few ask for this in the application form so you can always explain it to the firm later! Also if this worries you maybe you could choose to volunteer for a month or two part time or do a part time job for a month or so - ofc I understand that’s your choice completely and you may not have the time :) [/QUOTE]
