Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff?

    My manager was laid off too and I am unsure who to use as a reference. HR only confirms titles and dates. How do you ask politely?

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

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
