Was greatly humbled today by the amount of people that came forward offering me a reference.

It turns out that the last official referee in my existing paid employment history died last week, which was shocking and also symbolised the past in many ways, as most places I worked at failed sometime after I left.

Now I have a bunch of references... from New Jersey and California lol they are official (some of them). So, has anyone ever been in that situation? Out of a job and without a pot to piss in?

I'm liking that my negative experiences are few lately and that can turn them into positive ones. Like I said, humbling. So many people offered to help. I even have a reference from an irish nun lol true story!

A number of my previous employers will not give references except to confirm I was employed by them for a specified period, and the number of days off work due to sickness.

Yep, been there. You'll feel such a sense of achievement when you claw your way back up though.

I have also been there.

Tough times are character building and you learn a lot about yourself.

You can't get sued for sticking to facts.
