Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff? - 3 months and counting

    I worry a reference will only confirm dates of employment. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. HR only confirms titles and dates. Who did you use?

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

    I kept a note of my results so my references could be specific. They appreciated it.
