Joanna82 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hi, my reporting Manager has resigned and I am thinking about asking for a reference letter before he leaves the company as this is my first job in Australia. Is this common practice or do you usually only get a standard letter from HR confirming position, dates of employment etc. and for the rest use verbal references? And how would I go about using a reference that is no longer with the company (feels a bit weird listing a private email and phone number)? Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Suzukiscottie Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 No harm in asking. Or maybe just keep in touch so that you can ask at a later date? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkerfamily123 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Most companies over hear like to ring and get a direct reference so they talking to the company/manager you worked for. My wife had written references and no companies would accept them.....also they didnt like e-mail references If your manager is nice you could ask for a contact number for them to ring direct for the next year or so.
