I am an extremely introverted person, so I do not really talk to people much. As a consequence, I do not really know anyone well enough for them to give me a reference. I have not had many employers ask me for references though, but I am not sure how bad it is to tell them I do not have have any. When they ask me, I say something like, “Outside of family, I don’t know anyone well enough to ask them to provide me with a reference.” The employer usually just says something vague like, “Okay.” How bad is that? Is it hurting my chances of getting the job? This is for entry-level positions straight out of college by the way, so I am hoping my lack of references does not matter as much as it would for higher level positions.
