I need idea people. I am about to apply for a job a few days a week. On the application form they want 2 references. One from my recent employer, thats fine, and another from someone else who isn't a friend.
Who the hell could i ask? I don't know that many people, and most are friends. :banghead:

Well its usually gotta be someone you've known for a good few years...which doesn't help much!
Yeah i know, it sucks. :impissed:
Yeah thats the only other person i can think of (although they are retired now but i guess thats ok?), wanted to see if anyone can think of someone else though.
I was shit at school & didnt stop at colledge long oops.
hehe see i have friend who would too but i'm guessing they will wanna know how,why i know them you know?
Might be an idea yeah ta
by details i mean, dates of employment, how long you've known them and in what capacity.
i must stress that if you're giving dates of employment then they can only be a month or 2 out because otherwise they think you lied and tried to make out you worked for longer.
this also counts for number of sicknesses.
for your second reference, just use another employer, theres nothing wrong with that and it's what most people do anyway.
