Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff? - 18 weeks in

    I worry a reference will only confirm dates of employment. It has been a long 18 weeks. I have one former client who liked my work. Who did you use?

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.

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