Godd luckAt least you know you have the skills, and that's a big tick in the box - If they say they think you weren't suitable then you probably wouldn't have enjoyed working with them!!
Go onto the next interview knowing you're going to be one of the most capable candidates, and it's just down to whether you, and the company are a good 'match'

Don't dwell on it......their loss! Hope you find something soon, good luck!sexki11en said:So do I. Its been 3 months now and i'm desperate. Ive applied for over 200 jobs now! Its not helping that my old company are refusing to give a reference for meN8 said:
They can't do that- they are legally required to provide a reference. I would write to them reminding them of this and suggesting that you will be taking legal advice if they don't comply.

were you there a long time?? is it a vital part of your cv/skills/achievements??
if not, just dont mention em, or at least make sue they write to someone there who would give you a reference?? I've done it before!!!
I checked it out. Legally they cant give a bad reference but they dont have to give one at all. He would have given me a bad one if he didnt think Id have his ass over the coals for it. Likewise he cant give me a good one because again, id have his ass for firing me for no good reason. Hopefully now they've gone bust I might have a bit more luck. Proves to new employers that it probabally wasnt my capabilities but the fact that the company couldnt afford me.Scoobie said:sexki11en said:So do I. Its been 3 months now and i'm desperate.

I was there 6 months so far too long to miss it off my cv. I would ask someone else to give a reference but what if it got found out? My ass would be out of my new job without my feet touching the ground loljjinit said:sexki11en said:So do I. Its been 3 months now and i'm desperate. Ive applied for over 200 jobs now!

you wont get found out, basically it's not a case of someone writing a reference anymore, it's just a tick sheet with approx half a dozen questions on it, no room or need for elaboration, just give the name of an ally/allie (sp??) where you used to work and say they were your manager, or better still say they have gone bust but you still have home address of your old boss??
as for 6mths being to long...far from it, dont mention the place, say you took some time off, went travelling or that you worked where you worked prior to there a few months longer??
play clever...not hard
Could say i went travellin, wouldnt get away with lyin about dates at the last place tho cos they specify dates in the referencejjinit said:sexki11en said:I was there 6 months so far too long to miss it off my cv.
