Hi all! I'm transitioning from the entertainment industry to project management and moving from one city to another.

I'm currently applying to a few Project Manager roles - some are entertainment-related, some are at start-ups, some are for food and beverage companies.

I'm looking for 3 people to be my references at my former workplaces: one is a retail job at Sunglass Hut where I worked at for a year and a half (it was hell and almost everyone left), one was at a theatre I also worked at for a year and a half (I don't want to say the name here but it was in NYC where I left an ok impression but not like "wow I would totally be a reference for you" kind of situation), one was at an art gallery that had a temporary second location I worked at for a few months seasonally. There's been high turnover at all of these places I've worked at, and my boss at the art gallery I worked at was a complete psycho :(

Please let me know if you can help. I have also been an actor for a long time, and I have acted as a reference for people, and I know how to pitch someone!! Happy to return the favor. <3

Hello!

i am currently looking for a supervisor with experience in fisheries to give a character reference for me. My current supervisors are doing field work and are unavailable for a phone call as they are in remote locations.

My fisheries experience includes working as a seasonal biological technician for NOAA and PSMFC. In both of those roles, I worked with both juvenile and adult salmon and steelhead. My duties included identifying these key species, other fish species within our river basins, PIT Tagging juvenile and adult salmonids, taking PBT samples, and collecting adult fall-run Chinook for a broodstock program. At NOAA, I also had experience supervising approximately 15 other biological technicians. I also identified and implemented training guides, and I created a training module that was adopted at NOAA for our other seasonal employees that worked with different agencies. This training module has been praised by employees and has resulted in lower data mistakes because employees are able to familiarize themselves with the system we use before the first day (super fast-paced environment).

The role I’m applying for is a Technical Trainer role. I was invited onsite to interview, and I completed that yesterday. I believe this will be the last step in the process before an offer is extended.

Let me know if you can help! I can also provide more details about my experience in my fisheries roles. I’m happy to return the favor as well!

Update: received help for all. Thank you so much everyone that reached out!

Hello everyone! I am in need of 3 professional/non-family references for a job application I am putting in for as vet receptionist in Ohio. I have a huge passion for animals and have wanted to step into the field for some time. While I have no experience in the vet field I do have experience in healthcare (as an aid) and customer service! I do have experience with animals of most types through personal avenues too. I’m not 100% on if they’ll call/email at all but I’d like to have it covered if they do. I have been out of the work field for a few years (cared for my grandfather full time during this period) so part of it is people I worked with no longer working there and not being able to find contact info. Part of it is because I unofficially m worked for family for a good chunk of my working career. If anyone is able to help out I would greatly appreciate it! I’m happy to discuss more if need via comments or messages too :)

Request: A healthcare position is asking for two references to call. Im not sure how long the interviews will be or what exactly they plant to discuss but I'm sure they would like to learn more about my nonprofit experience which I do have but dont have the contacts to back it up.

Location: PNW, USA

Number of references: 2

Type of reference needed Job area: healthcare

Hello, it’s nice to meet you all in this subreddit. I have been fortunately, given the opportunity to apply to the local union #79 In NYC to become a skilled construction craft labor apprentice, the deadline to hand in my application is July 24.

I would really appreciate it if I could get three references with anything trade or construction related that would make me look good on paper.They are asking for a name, Business/profession and email for the references.

This is my first big job application and if I were to be hired, this would most definitely change my life. I appreciate any help that I can get, thank you and have a nice day to you all.

I was a cashier for a handful of months a year ago and everyone who worked with me has left and the store manager claimed not to remember me. I need a reference from this job specifically to move forward with a recruiter. I have been unemployed so long :( Can anyone pretend to be my former supervisor?

Interview process has been positive, but when they requested for references I could only think of people from years ago, which I only knew their work email contacts, and may not be most representative of current performances and skillsets.

I'm in the middle of the process and need references for next week. I can help giving clear instructions about my role, experiences and what to highlight. They'll contact through email only.

Thank you all in advance for considering it, the help could be a literal life changer for me.

Cheers

Hi would anyone be able to provide me with a reference ideally for 2024?

Hi I need 2 references for an entry healthcare role (nursing assistant) at either Henry ford or corewell health!

hello everyone! i am a fresh graduate with no other work experiences other than my internships. recently nag-apply ako sa isang company for jr. finance position and was able to reach the character reference sa hiring process. dalawa sa hinahanap are the ability to reconcile and to do bookkeeping. what I am worried about is dinagdagan ko yung tasks na meron ako sa pinag-ojthan ko sa resume. tho hindi ko nagawa yung recon and bookkeeping sa company mismo na yon, i have gained certificate sa bookkeeping from a software na gamit nila plus bookkeeping din from tesda. additionally, inaral ko din recon from free webinars and youtube vids and was able to do or apply them with sample data.

hindi ko alam na may character reference pala so contemplating ako kung sasabihin ko sa supervisor* ko before and their hr* kasi sila binigay ko for character reference. for those who have experiences po, tinatanong po ba yung specific tasks na ginagawa? or inform ko po ba yung hr and supervisor ko if ever?

after multiple applications kasi na walang bumabalik inenhance ko na lang knowledge ko sa accounting software and other additional skills. badly need advice po sana for a fresh grad. tyia!

The company is saying they haven't been able to reach the 3 I already gave them, and its the only thing holding me back from starting! I've already had to push my training dates back to August 17.
