I'm applying for jobs at the moment and most places ask you to put your current or last job down for a reference.
Problem is I know the company refers all reference requests to head office and basically they confirm you've worked there, and the dates from and to... and thats it.
So it looks like a bad reference - well you know what i mean. So then the employer looks at that, compared to one from someone who's previous employer said just a few lines and they have already got a betta chance than me if it goes down to references.
What can i do? Why can the company give me this simple not even reference, just confirmation of existance!!! They are still causing me problems and im not even employed by them anymore!!! :banghead:
