...the telemarketing corporation that I was an independant contractor for does not verify these types of things. I am trying to begin my new accounting career, but "Jeremy," the man at the temp service says to me "We will DEFINITELY have to have a reference from this company." I had already told Jeremy beforehand that the company does not do that. What should I do. Is this just a rejection in diguise, being that he is asking me to do the impossible? Or should I show him my tax forms from the company and a copy of the telemarketing corporations' policy on this matter, or should I just have him call a made up company (so that he will think he is calling them)?

If a former employer won't give you a reference and now it is required for the temp agencies to have references,you are rejected. There are a few like Spherion which doesn't require a reference check. Good luck.

Go to a different temp agency.
And what kind of company doesn't verify prior employment??? THAT would make me suspicious, if I were Jeremy.
Your paystubs and tax forms and policy letter should be sufficient to show you worked for that other company.
Otherwise, if the telemarketer is a dead end and Jeremy is a dead end - go get a REAL job, not a temp service.

Why would you have him call a made up company? How would that help. Showing him pay stubs etc. is not the same as a reference. It only proves you worked for them. Did you have any co-workers? If so, have him call one for a reference.

I would show him the tax records you have showing your employement and also the letter stating their policy. If you can get ahold of someone you worked with at that company, then offer their number. Honesty is best. If they are not satisfied with that, then it may very well be in your best interest to seek employment elsewhere.

Did you have any interaction with anyone else from this company a co-worker or someone else that can give you a reference?
