Oh and you maybe can't use your employer as a reference but you may have some co workers or other professionals you worked with that you could use as a reference...again that is what I did. |
Yes I certainly plan on being open and honest with any potential employers. I am currently working on some fellow employee references. have pretty strong references and a few are government officials, but I don't have and in my field because I never needed any. So that is what I am going to work on now.
It's funny because all of my friends and co-workers that I spoke with all say they are not worried for me. They know what I am about and I will be just fine and truly positive things. This is without me even telling them i'm 'ok' with it. My bullies need to watch out because a lot of people are not happy with them. I wouldn't be surprised that we end up on the same unemployment line.
