    The company closed and I am not sure how to reach former colleagues. Any experience at all would help. A colleague offered to vouch for me. How do you ask politely?

    Use a professional network to find a former manager. Many will still write a note.

    Ask former colleagues and supervisors in a short message and give them a summary of the job you are applying for.
