I left one for a competitor. Another I refused a job offer to return. I need sterling references and though I did good work, I still wonder what they might say.

They, by law, can only tell how long you worked there, and if they would rehire you. If they go futher, they can be sued.
If your worried, you can use a PO box, and go to Staples and get a employee work history release form, make a fake name and send it to them.

Most companies have a policy limiting "business" references to length of employment, job title, and salary information. However, "personal" references are another matter. If you want to use a former boss as a personal reference, then you should contact them first and let them know that you'd like to use them as a reference. You should also offer to fax over an updated resume for them to see. You'll know when you talk with them whether they will be happy to give you a reference, or not.

Well maybe you should have left you bridges up instead of burning them, but don't worry about it. It is illegal for an employer to give a bad reference.

if you have a friend that sounds professional on the phone, have that person call your former boss, pose as an employer and ask reference questions. Then you will know.

Go ahead and ask, the worst they can do is say no.
