Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff? (Albuquerque)

The company closed and I am not sure how to reach former colleagues. It has been a long 5 weeks. A colleague offered to vouch for me. Who did you use?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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