Who should be my references?
I haven't worked since 2019. I've been a stay at home mom and gone to grad school. I just graduated and am starting to apply for jobs. All of the positions I'm applying for require 3 references. I have 2 locked in, but I'm struggling to think who would be most appropriate for the 3rd. My first two are a friend from my last job and a professor from grad school.
Would it be better to go with a friend of my parents' who retired from the field I'm trying to get into? Or my sister-in-law who currently works in the field (we have different last names and she wouldn't disclose the family connection)? Does it really matter? They'll both say good things about me.
It's been so long since I've looked for work
