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. Who did you use?

    A client reference worked well for me. It shows you deliver outside the company too.

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