Question: Who should I put as references on a new job application?

I’m currently looking for another job, but still working with my current company. Long story short, I worked my ass off last year and only got a 3% raise – which is a pay cut. I have an interview Thursday for another job, but on the job application it says to list 3 references. All my references for my jobs with similar duties to the job I’m applying for are with my current company. My current company doesn’t know I’m looking for another job (thanks to this sub, at least not until I know I have a better job). I’m pretty new to professional jobs so my only professional experience is with my current company. Who should I put down as a reference? I’m kind of at a loss here.
