I've run into a curious thought. I'm self employed, family business took over about 6 years ago and worked in it since I was in grade 8. I wanted to get a job on the side for extra spending cash during our slower season and realized I have no idea who I should use as a reference.
From my stand point character references have very little value (IE references from friends). And having references from employee's that are under you would hold little value cause its unlikely that they'd give you a negative.
I'd like to have something to present to someone at an interview but unsure of what would be the most ideal or relevant. Obviously I'll have to explain my situation when at the interview but just looking for suggestions otherwise.
