So I am applying for a new job and need 2 references. I did voluntary work in a charity shop for a couple of years and thought I'd ask them to provide me with a reference.
The shop has shut down and I have no contact number for the manager. I thought I'd ask one of the volunteers if she'd would please let me have a phone number for the manager.
She asked me why I wanted their number cos she didn't want to give their numbers out ( they know me and so does she) and then she went on to say that I haven't bothered with any of them since I left and maybe I should find someone "who I currently bother with".
Now am I being unreasonable in thinking that's it's none of her business and she could of just given me their number or at least asked if they minded? Surely it's up to them to decide whether they write me a reference and nobody else?
Maybe I'm just mad cos it's put me in an awkward position as there's nobody else I can really ask.
