Who do I ask for a reference after a layoff?, security officer here

    I worry a reference will only confirm dates of employment. There are 15 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. HR only confirms titles and dates. How do you ask politely?

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

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