Just emailed my old work to ask for a reference to use for applying to college in UK and getting jobs. Got this back in an email:
Is there anything i can do here? Surely they're somehow obliged to give me a written reference? The manager can barely speak english (he's from mayo) so even if he tried to give me a good phone reference, he'd fuck it up, but even that aside, i'll need to be able to show something for three years work when applying to college.
Ideas?
The attatched "reference" just says "RSJ worked at **** from day x to day x as an electronic technician. If you have further questions, ring me on 555-666-666, regards, some dude".RSJ,
Hope all is going well for you and I wish you success with your course
application and your endeavours to get work in the UK. The policy at
***** in relation to references is to confirm start and finish dates
per attached. If further information is required then the company can
call your ex Manager directly.
Wishing you the best of luck and continued success.
