ok, I am now being forced to look for a new job because my i have been made redundant due to my area of the busness closing down. everyone in the area, including all big bosses above me are having to leave also. the large company we work for will still be here, but no onw I know will be left. I have started to look for other jobs, but they all ask for 3 referees, and only one can be a personal ref. my understaning is they want to call the company and confirm i worked there, but there wont be anywhere for them to call. any ideas what I can do? any help would be appreciated. Im so nervous looking for a new job, i have been in my pos for about 5 yrs.
thanks

Ask your boss for permission to give his/her personal phone number and to use their name for a reference. Do the same with a trusted co-worker.
Most business references I check I call a personal number for, not a business number.

The large company will still have the personnel records, so your employment there can be verified.
