I have nobody who can be my second reference?Should I give up?
For context, I left my toxic homophobic family this summer and moved into university dorms. Now that is all great and I’m glad I took the leap out there to leave but I’ve been applying to jobs and while one has gotten back to me, I have no possible reference available for the job.
I’m able to use my university tutor for the first reference but two is required and as I’m estranged from my family now, I have nobody to turn to in regards to being my personal reference.
Should I give up on the job and keep applying for others (though they might also want 2 references) or should I try to find someone to lie and be my personal reference? If I don’t get this job, or any others, then it’ll be really difficult for me to live during university but I don’t know how I can lie my way through this. Should I just cancel the application?

Unless you've burned all your bridges, you still have childhood friends and their parents who you could ask to be your second reference.
Even the doctor or dentist, as long as you weren't a bad patient may be willing to give you a good reference.
References don't have to be professionals at anything to count as a reference on your job applications.
