Just wondering who is acceptable to put down as a referee when applying for a job? I have had this year off as DD was born in Feb, and prior to that I worked in a casual part time job for 2 years and most of the staff there have now been made redundant due to a company buy out. My direct manager resigned just before I left and the manager who originally hired me was let go a few months ago.
My job prior to that was 4 years ago and my manager from there has also moved on. I am currently in the process of updating my CV, and have no idea who to put down now. I know there are people out of the work force longer than me that possibly have the same dilemma, so who would you ask to be a referee?
