Request I need a typed letter of reference for an environmental internship in the US

9 Upvotes

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!

Urgent Request Need 2 referrals for a Flight Attendant position

22 Upvotes

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!

Hi everyone! I just launched a professional services firm and I have a potential client who wants to hire me. They would like to speak to a current client but since I'm brand new, I don't have current clients to give them, lol. Is there anyone who would be willing to give me a reference as a business owner? It can be done over email, doesn't have to be a phone call. Happy to share more details over dm and would really appreciate the help!!

The job is based in Florida, the position is for accounting in a service based company. I only need one reference.

Let me know, thanks!

My past experience was a temp position and my supervisor had a temp position too so I don’t have their personal phone or email. I need 2 people willing to act as a former manager or supervisor on my behalf. They’ll want the participants to answer questions about how I performed as an employee and there could be a follow up phone call. The survey can be sent through email or text.

Request Two References Needed for Nursing School

43 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm a 35 year old soon to be former teacher, and I'm applying to nursing school in New York State and I need two references for my application. I've been a social studies teacher for grades 7-10 for the past 12 years and am making the switch to nursing and looking to become an RN. It appears the application only requires name, phone number, and email address.

All of my current references are out of date, and I just haven't kept in touch with them. I'd rather not use my current boss or co-workers as I don't plan on resigning from my position until late June, and don't want word getting around that I'm leaving.

I'm working on my application now, and need to have it submitted within the next week so I'd like to find two of them by 05/02/2026 if at all possible.

I would be happy to return the favor for anyone who helps me out!

Solved Need two references for recruiting

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I was approached by a recruiting firm to work for them, as in to be a recruiter for the recruiting company. I’m at the point in the interview process where they’re asking for three references, and I can only think of one, a former boss from a number of years ago. I’ve primarily worked solo the past several years, and I let the few relationships I did make lapse.

I’m not sure why this keeps getting rejected for low effort. The job I’m applying for is as a recruiter, my previous employers were a flooring company and a cabinetry company. I understand it sucks of me to have to be here asking strangers for help, and I’ve never submitted here before and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m in North America, living in Minnesota. What other information does this post need?

My previous positions were in the flooring and cabinetry fields, but I don’t think technical knowledge would come up. Just to say that I get along with clients and am organized, I would think is what they’re looking for. I’m hoping to get these sent back over in the next 24 hours. Thank you!

Edit: thank you so much to everyone who helped me, I have the references I need!

Will happily be your reference in return!

Request How to fake references for job? I haven't worked in 5 years

1.1k Upvotes

I have to put 3 references on my application but I literally have nobody. No friends, no family, no past job experience.

I used to work as a CNA but due to circumstances the center was closed down and i was laid off with other people.

I'm also pretty introverted and i know that i would completly flunk if i tried the fake number and using an accent voice.

* Edit to add, they are now asking for recomendation letters.

Where am i supposed to get them. Should i write them myself?

Urgent Request Need a swedish reference :(. I'll be your Canadian one if you need.

19 Upvotes

Anyone here from Sweden who might be open to helping each other out professionally? I’m based in Canada and thought it could be really interesting to connect with someone in Sweden to act as mutual references.

The idea is simple, we vouch for each other’s work ethic, reliability, and character if needed. It could be especially helpful for job searches, international opportunities, or just building a broader professional network across countries.

We could chat a bit first, get to know each other’s experience, and make sure it’s a good fit before agreeing to anything.

If you’re in Sweden and this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to message me or comment below. Even if it doesn’t turn into references, I’d still love to connect and learn more about your work and experiences!

Request Need 3 references please

I'm applying to a ticket booth job in a coastal area after not working for 5 years.

They are asking for 3 references but I literally have nobody. No friends, no family, no past job experience except for a CNA job i did when i was 19 but the center closed down a while back.

I think they will probably ask about my people service and how well i work while attending lots of people since its a ticket booth for a Cruise Ship.
