Job app is asking for personal references?

A job I am applying for requires three personal references.  It specifically says no relatives, and no employers. 

I understand the "no relatives" part, but who should I use?  Friends of mine?  I'm not sure what the point of a personal reference is...of course if I use the name of a friend, they are going to give a good reference.

Since it says no employers, what if I used a former colleague, who I was friendly with?

Any advice?  Thanks!!

  • I'd go with former co-workers, or friends from college who you took classes with, if that's at all applicable.
