Giving refrences ...

[Bunnipowder]

Just filling out a job application form and they want to know names and contact details for last 2 employments, one of my jobs was for a big company so just going to give there address even though management has changed since Iv been there but surely they will have kept records?

The 2nd one I don't have my boss's number nor her address and I cant write the address for where I worked as it no longer exists Iv sent her a msg on fb today but she dosent use it much so she wont see it by the time I want to hand the form back which is tomorrow!! What can I put on the form that I am awaiting confirmation?

They also want another 2 refernces which excludes family members and your GP, I don't know any one to use

Feel like the form looks a mess anyway due to me crossing a word out

Just put down what you have hun. Tell them that companies changed, you can't get in touch with another boss, etc. Employers are usually pretty understanding. As far as other referces not related to you, can you put down a co-worker? Or even put down a friend.

Can you put friends down as references, I know I've done references for a few of my friends and they all got the jobs. xxx

on my last application i just put one reference because ive only had one job! and didnt have anyone else to put down. i figured i would just explain this if they called me for interview etc.
