Absolutely. Former employers are the best references, but if you don't have any work history, then teachers, coaches, community leaders are good character references. |

Yes. Even if they're just character references. Sometimes it's difficult to get employers references if you've been self-employed or out of work but if you don't provide any references at all it looks bad. |

Pretty much. If you really have no former employers see about places where you've volunteered or teachers or any other activities you may have been involved in. |

A few are very good to have, when you do not put any people tend to wonder why |

Yes references are must sometimes for getting a job especially when you are switching a job because these are the real cirtificates of your dealing and your job commitment.

I've always put a subheading on my resume that says "References available upon request"
95% of the time they have requested them. You can use personal references and/or business references depending on the type of job you are applying for. |
