My 3rd reference is out of town on vacation and I don't know anybody who I can really trust as a reference. What should I tell the employer? If my present two references give them really good words (which I know they will), do you think the employer will not worry too much about the third one?
I find it extremely hard to deal with the whole reference issue as it makes me put others in inconvenience of getting calls and writing emails while they are 'professionals' and very busy people

Resumes ask for "Professional" refrences to keep people from filling out their cousins, friends, family and pet dogs.
There is not much more to it than that.
