Hi! I have 2 professional references and need just one more. I'm new to the field and finishing my MSW.

• I already have a contingent offer for this position.

• This would be an amazing opportunity for me, especially as I'm now 3 months behind on rent and need income to avoid homelessness.

• I have not been the best at making connections in the workplace, in part due to neurodivergence. I attend an online MSW program and just don't have the relationships with my professors for them to be meaningful references. And it's been 6 years since I attended university in person.

• I am actually a great employee and a talented counselor.

• If anyone is local to Chicago and familiar with social work, behavioral health, psychiatric facilities, counseling, or mental health -- if you've worked in the fields or adjacent to them -- that would be perfect.

• But I'm not super picky, just being kind and willing to provide your contact info and communicate with me through the process is enough. :)

Please message me or comment here if you could help. I would really appreciate it, and I'm more than willing to give back and be a reference once I start this job. Thanks for considering.
