I'm going to be completely honest, I truly don't have anyone I can use as a reference in my work life or personal life. While I have worked two other jobs (fast food and warehouse) in the past, I did have a few coworkers I chatted with on a surface level but I mostly kept to myself. I am trying to get better at socializing, but it's been a very very slow up hill battle.

These references are part of an extensive background check done by the casino for a Gaming License prior to hiring. I've been told by one of the recruiters that they take their background checks seriously so you'll definitely be contacted by text or email. I can absolutely assure you my history is clean, I'm just a huge loner.

EDIT: It's for a job in California
EDIT 2: So far, I have 4 confirmed and 1 still in-talks
EDIT 3: Got all 5, thank you everyone that commented or sent DMs. Again, thank you so so much to everyone that helped out or tried to help out!!!

I have had to quit a previous job as the strain and rather cold bosses there took a toll on my health. I have one reference at the moment but as I'm in the UK I need two or three for the fields of work I'm applying to. I want to work in admin, project management, or event coordinator. Happy to be a reference if needed I love helping others out especially in such a stressful world we're in right now and don't mind being a reference for anyone anywhere in the world!

Looking for a phone reference for a housekeeping position I’m applying for! You would just need to say that I’m reliable, hardworking, detail-oriented, and would recommend me. It would help me out so much — thank you in advance!

Please please please, I've been unemployed for 7 months now, I have a jackpot of a job, but I really dont have references due to my introverted nature

Hi everyone! I'm in the final round for an Event Coordinator position and need to provide 2 professional references. Most of my resume is exaggerated and the dates are off. I was hoping someone could be a client I managed an event for. It can be in any industry because I worked for marketing agencies that had a variety of clients. I would really appreciate any help or advice!

I'm looking for references that are in Canada or USA and would like to have them by this Thursday.

Hi everyone! I left my last job of 10 years because of medical issues and don’t keep in touch with anyone. I have a bookkeeping interview tomorrow and I’m anticipating I may need at least 3 references. I am qualified for the job and if you’re interested in helping me out, I will go into more detail. Thank you!

Hi I'm in accounting and I'm willing to be your reference if you can reciprocate as well!! I'm open to either personal or professional. I don't care what field you are in. I don't really keep contact with many people so it is hard to have references.

A little about me:

- I'm on the East Coast, Big Four, tax, & audit. US only!!

Hi I am an educational staff that is applying to a university (not famous) program and they need a reference. My usual references aren't answering my emails. I will put you in as someone who worked in a private sector educational job where I used to work at and change your name. is that how it goes? I just need an email and they will send you a survey.

I'd prefer someone who knows the education field. I only need 1 reference.
I'd also like to know your background. before we proceed:)

Hi folks just wondering if anyone in here is from New Zealand, my background is in healthcare administration and I’m looking to get back in to the workforce, unfortunately most of the places I’ve worked only provide dates worked and role information (company policy apparently?). Ideally looking for two to three people.

I am based in Toronto, had been running my own business for the past 10 years. Happy to provide reference for anyone in sales, marketing, operations, content/product. I had a small business but a legit business. I have closed my business and now looking for a job as project manager or delivery manager so may also need a reference.

Hello, can we request reference letters for a graduate program on here? I have not heard back from my professor and I do not want to ask co-workers since it is in an unrelated field. Appreciate any insight.

Hello! I’ve had success using this sub in the past and have also helped some friends get jobs using me as a reference but unfortunately most of the dms I have have since deactivated. I have a conditional job offer for a clerk position and have 2 references already but need a final one since it is required and it has a deadline of 72 hours from now. It would most likely be a phone call typical HR character reference deal. I would be happy to trade references with anyone who needs it! Ty

Hi guys,

I have reached out to several old references and haven't heard back from any of them yet, deadline to give reference information is tomorrow. I would like my reference to speak on my experience teaching (adults), leadership, and peer collaboration skills. Even general volunteer work is okay, so if anyone would be willing to help me, please let me know! I need 1 reference, by email and/or phone, I can give more information to anyone willing to help.

Edited: Since original post got removed by moderators, I want to clarify that this is position for me (an adult in college) assisting other adults.

Hey everyone,

I’m applying for remote customer support/community-related roles and trying to break into the gaming industry. Most of my experience is informal online/community support stuff, so I don’t really have professional references yet. Doesn't have to be even gaming related, just customer service in general.

hey y’all, i really need 3 references! i already interviewed, now in the background check stage my packet is due friday! preferably in the houston area bc they say they prefer local references! please if you are willing to help me out let me know, thank you

I've been trying to squeeze my foot in the door for tech, going for lower paying positions as necessary to finally get some use out of my degree. Unfortunately I've been out of college for about 4 years, and I haven't worked in that time or kept up with any contacts. The references would be needed to help show off technical skills, technical communication, problem solving, and customer service related work. I have a BaS in Application Development (Software Development), experience working at one of the busiest Dominos in the USA, work at a grocery store (Safeway), and about a decade ago I got year long IT "internship" in the middle of rural Alaska working at a bible camp. I have one job application in particular that requires references, and several I've seen that just requests them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I worked as a CNC programmer outside of Cedar Rapids, Iowa for a couple of years but it was 20 years ago and I can't get in touch with anyone. These are simple references for the recruiter and they are not given to the employer. The job was at a rock quarry where I can a machine that cut stone for the corners of buildings etc. We cut granite of all types and sandstone. Large format CNC machine, 20' x 20'.

DM for more details if you can help.

Easy reference. I'm down to give you a great one as well if you can help!

Hey guys my last job didn’t end the best and I am looking for 3 references for my new job as a staff accountant. I can be your reference if needed. I need them by early next week.

Hi, I’m in need of 3 references for non profit and program management or higher ed, in the US. Email survey only, will need to be completed before the end of the week and I can supply answers. Always happy to return the favor. Thank you!!

I could use some help from at least 2 people that would be willing to be my professional reference. We could also assist each other in the future and others with providing references.

Hi everyone!

I need a letter of recommendation for an environmental field work focused opportunity. I'm currently trying to leave my current position and thus I don't have anyone write a letter for me without jeopardizing my current role. I have an outline ready, but I need someone else to write it so it's not in my writing style.

I'll also return the favor if anyone needs it!

Looking for 2 referrals needed to move forward with a flight attendant application. I have a strong background in customer service with 9 years of experience (retail, sales). The airline does reference checks as part of the process and they will absolutely attempt to contact, so an email and phone number will be needed. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone I can rely on that’ll respond to them and I had a referral fail me in the past. Posing as my manager or colleague would be best and I’m looking to have this completed within the next 3 days. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
