    My manager was laid off too and I am unsure who to use as a reference. It has been a long 3 weeks. I have one former client who liked my work. How do you ask politely?

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

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