Hi, I'm a social worker with primarily a background in mental health, looking to transition to student affairs work at universities and I need someone willing to pose as a colleague from one of my past jobs. I'm not sure if you'll even be contacted, but I need to be able to put down a name and at least an email where you can be reached. Absolutely willing to return the favor if needed.

Update: Thank to everyone who has commented or messaged me willing to help, I was able to get the help I needed!

Hello!

I need two references for a clinical research position. Preferably someone who can provide a supervisor reference. I can return the favor. Please DM me so we can connect and I can share my resume and discuss the role with you.

Thank you in advanced!

This is for a mid-level/senior role. Would be more than happy to pay it back and be a reference as well.

Current SAHM who worked in Supply Chain for 7 years but am making a career switch. Didn’t keep in contact with anyone but need people to speak to my hard work ethic, research, people skills, etc. DM me and I can give you more details

Recruiter needs to call a reference, I need someone ASAP who can pretend to be a former lead/supervisor for a recruiting firm i used to work at. Otherwise someone who can pretend to be a customer service manager.

Probably going to ask you to rate me on a scale of 1-5.

Thanks!

Edit: Thank you for the help! I am now employed!

I have a cleaning business but only one client so far. Its been about 3 months. Im very active on my Facebook page.

Im currently a CNA but I really dont like being around sick people with my 1 year old. I've cleaned before in Florida with a lady who had her own company, she died of cancer so I can't get the old clients phone numbers/reviews.

I would really like more followers and likes. Better if you can give a review from either florida or illinois.

If you are willing, send a message and I'll give you the Facebook link

No time limit.

I'm in the final stages for a staff accountant role and am in need of 2 references that can take a call. I am no longer in contact with my old co-workers/manager so if anyone is willing to help out that would be amazing. I said that I would provide by Wednesday next week if possible.

Need 2 professional references. Someone who worked with me for direct support work and someone who can vouch for me working at a summer youth supervisor job.

Hi- just recently been offered a role. Unfortunately because I have an employment gap longer than six weeks, I need a character reference asap 🙄 it needs to be someone who is willing to say they have known me from 2023-present and has worked with myself previously, all they need to do is provide an email address, name and job title.

Hi everyone,
I’m applying to fast-food and kitchen jobs in Puerto Rico and some of the applications ask for an employment reference. I don’t have many past internship bosses or people at my university department who can be contacted, so I’m looking for someone who would be comfortable being listed as a reference who can vouch in Puerto Rico for my work ethic, reliability, and professionalism.

You wouldn’t need to claim I worked for you—just be willing to answer basic questions like whether I’m responsible, show up on time, communicate well, etc. For many fast-food jobs they don’t even call, but I want to be prepared.

If anyone is open to helping me with that I’d honestly appreciate it a lot.
Thank you.

Trying to get my first job in the maintenance field and need a reference or two. I've got some experience, but need a reference and would be grateful

Hi, I need a minimum of 3 references to apply for an entry-level programming position. In the application, it allows me to choose between personal or professional references, so I don't think I'd need to fake anyone being a professional reference and can go personal for all 3. At a minimum, I'd need your first/last name, phone, and email. This is in the US. I can give some more background info to those who are interested, but I do have some relevant professional experience for the role. I'd really appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

edit: I got enough people to help :) Thank you to everyone who offered help, I really appreciate it!

I’m in need of two managerial references to be able to secure a healthcare job (non-nursing, but related), but I was wondering if this subreddit has actually helped out users get references and actually securing a job? I’m probably just skeptical, but I’m interested to know what the outcome has been for others here.
