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

    My manager was laid off too and I am unsure who to use as a reference. I am in Cincinnati, in case local advice matters. HR only confirms titles and dates. Is a client acceptable?

    I kept a note of my results so my references could be specific. They appreciated it.

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