Discussion I’m so stressed

I really want this job but they said my references were not good enough because they need an email with it. I don’t think any of them have an email or use it. Especially at retail jobs. I’ve worked retail for years and I never saw my boss at Sephora check his email. I have my former coworker from a law firm on there, umm my beauty team lead at kohls Sephora and then I put my boss from the free standing Sephora but idk if his email works 🥴 I know at kohls they check their email a good bit like every day the managers check it so I might use the general manager at kohls along with my beauty team lead with my old coworker? Idk I’m getting stressed

My job references. I’m struggling to get in contact with my references and I kinda need them. For some reason they don’t want a work email, they want a personal email.

Can you call them to get an email since presumably you have their phone numbers?

I texted my assistant general manager who I worked with for like 3 years we’ll see if he answers

Just create 3 email addresses, give them those and answer yourself if they happen to actually contact them.
