fake references?

[stinkynuts]

Anyone know of a good company that offers fake references for jobs? It's the only option I have right now, as I have been unemployed for some time.

This is for restaurant work. I don't have any friends that I can use, and the people I worked with at my old jobs are long gone or I have no idea how to contact.

I know there are several, but any recommendations? Without references, I will not be able to find a job.

I've done fake references for a few people I know. Not a big deal as long as you're applying for something you're qualified to do.
I've also put myself down as a fake landlord for people without a fixed address trying to get social assistance.
Even something as basic as a library card is tough to get for these people.

As for your situation, you could say you've been self employed - maybe catering from home? Or you've taken time off to look after an elderly parent?

If someone is looking for work I don't see an issue with this. Better that then draining the taxpayer IMO.

If they don't know your cell number use yourself as a reference and disguise your voice somewhat. I've done it. References are stupid anyway, why would someone provide a bad reference.

why would someone provide a bad reference.

Our company doesn't provide references (lawsuit risk). We do confirm facts.

Yes, he worked for our company from December 1 to December 10, 2016.
No, his annual salary was not $20 million.
He left our company to pursue other interests.

Because they're honest?

You're right though, references are stupid. You don't get a good idea of the employee's work performance because they're only going to put down references that will gush about them. Much better to simply dial up the companies they formerly worked for and get an honest opinion. I don't even put much faith in that other than to confirm the facts as Skyrider mentions. I go more off the in-person interview than anything.

Thanks for the responses!

Well if you paid him 20 million he's still be there instead of pursuing other interests

It is even more believable if you get someone to back you up that you previously worked at a now defunct business.

I find references to be ridiculously stupid as well. References are only as good as the person giving them. I also find it funny that companies want references for jobs paying a few bucks over minimum wage.

They are a necessary evil. In the states at least it is ridiculously difficult to fire someone if they are a member of a protected class. If you know how to ask reference questions you can find out a good deal about someone, even if the person giving the reference is blowing smoke.

You can put me down as a reference. Just have your prospective employer PM me here on terb and I will be happy to PM them back
