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

    The company closed and I am not sure how to reach former colleagues. I have been trying to stay organised about it. HR only confirms titles and dates. 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.

    Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
