In reply to Lack of Job references?, posted by stargazer2 on August 10, 2007, at 11:32:57
Hi Stargazer,
I've been in your situation many times. I worked through a temporary employment agency doing administrative assistant work and they did not ask for references. They did a work background check by contacting human resources of the places I put on my application.
I also am a very accomplished liar about why I left jobs. My personal favorite being budget cut I was laid off, followed by so was my supervisor, I could try to track him/her down for a reference...
I am grateful that my current employer did not ask for references. Likely because I was hired the day before they fired the person that had my job. I feel for her, but I really needed a job.
Good luck.
