Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff?

    The company closed and I am not sure how to reach former colleagues. I am in Austin, in case local advice matters. I have one former client who liked my work. 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.

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