I have done my MBA in HR in August 2013. I have tried for jobs related to HR, but I am not getting a single one. Whenever I go for an interview, they ask me about references. I do not have any references.
Please give me suggestions on what I can do in such circumstances.

Hi,
Anywhere you apply, they will seek references. So, you can have a minimum of 3 references from your college (lecturer/professor) or from the place where you did your project/industrial training (anyone from HR Dept). At this point, this is more than enough and no HR will ask for any significant references. References are essentially taken to provide a third party's perspective after your interview. For example, if a particular recruiter has doubts about you, they may request references to gain a better understanding of you. Therefore, please have one or two references ready before you attend any interview.

You can provide a reference from your family doctor, who knows you well, or your neighbor who holds a good position in a corporate/bank, your school teacher, or any of your friends who are already in good jobs. It is not a formal inquiry, if at all the employer decides to do so. They may simply contact the reference person and ask for some basic details.

Hi,
May I point out that the reason for not getting a job may be other than your inability to provide references. It's been more than a year, and I am sure you must have realized that references may not be the only reason.
I'd suggest that you seek clarity regarding the issue at hand. Getting a job and providing references are different issues; albeit interrelated. Hence deal with them accordingly. Hope this helps.

Hi,
As Adityaoak said, there may be more reasons why you are not getting a job. You may not have a professional resume, or you might not be following interview etiquette, or you may be lacking in communicating with others. Try to figure out the actual reason why you are not getting job offers.

Dear Waghmaresd,
A resume is the most critical part of the interview, which enables you to get your foot in the door. Having observed your post (language, grammar, and punctuation), I am assuming that your resume will need to be relooked at.
