I'm filling out a job application online requiring me to input two professional references. I need to fill these parts in as the fields cannot be left blank. I have one person in mind I could ask (a former supervisor) but need a second.
I've been self-employed for the past few years, so I don't have any recent supervisors or coworkers, and my supervisors from past jobs (besides the one mentioned) left their departments long ago and I have no way of getting a hold of them. It's been years since I've been out of school, so I don't have any teachers, counselors, or community service leaders I could ask who would actually remember who I am to vouch for me.
The only other person I can think of is my current client, but I don't know any etiquette regarding asking them. 1) The job I'm applying for has nothing to do with the kind of work I do for my client. 2) I don't want my client to think this other job will take away from the work I do for them--I want to continue to work with them.

Just wanted to mention that the only reason I haven't revealed the kind of work I do is to preserve a little anonymity. And no, it's nothing illegal or perverted =P lol

There is nothing wrong with putting your client down as a reference. Applicants for a job are usually requested to give the names of at least three persons who can be asked or called to speak about us. The most appropriate persons include present or former employers, teachers, and other professionals. Also acceptable is a character reference whose name or occupation is respected.
Peace and every blessing!

I would ask a friend, not relative, that may be in the same type of business or can vouch for you. I wouldn't ask another client. Do you buy supplies or deal with anyone imparticular that you may have formed some type of relationship? If you really can't come up with anyone, then put in a personal one and explain at the interview just what you outlined above. You will have your past jobs on the application: he can call those if he wants more info.

My heavens, I never have been flashed, but I did unintentionally flash a few folks once. I was in the hospital some time back and decided to take a stoll to the vending area. Well, I wasn't thinking about what I was wearing and, let's just say that those hospital gowns don't leave a lot to the imagination on the backside. The nurse came up from behind me and put a blanket over my shoulders . . . I was wondering why it was a little drafty back there!
