hi there, i was wondering if anyone could help. i have been in same job for past 12 years,but am now redundant and seeking work my problem is i dont know who i should put as reference for job held before my last as company has changed and its been so long since i worked for them. my work record has been good and worked for most employers a long time now i find i have no contacts to refer new employers to. if anyone has had this experience i would welcome advice. thank you in advance.

Just put 'Personnel Manager' and leave it at that."Never underestimate the mindless force of a government bureaucracyseeking to expand its power, dominion and budget"Jay Stanley, American Civil Liberties Union.0

Check that it has to be a second employers reference. Most employers are happy to accept one (current or last if you have left) plus someone else who knows you well.0

a reference from over 12 years ago would be no use to me.
Who do you know that is an "upstanding member of the community" and can vouch? sports club? councillor? PTA? what have you been involved in outside work?Debt free 4th April 2007.
