    My manager was laid off too and I am unsure who to use as a reference. It has been weighing on me all week. I have one former client who liked my work. Who did you use?

    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.

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