Quote From: bonnieloveI had been bullied at my work place until I was requested by my supervisor for my resignation. After I was approved my unemployment, I filled a complaintant with department of labor. For several months now I've been looking for employment, but have not had any luck. This is the first time I haven't been able to get another job quickly. I was woundering if my last supervisor had written or lied to my protential new employees about me. How can one find out what your past employeer(s) say about you on a potential new job reference?  
I f it is possible contact (prefebly phone or email) your previous employers as a prospective employer of you. See what they are saying that way.
NB If you ring they may recognise your voice so get a friend to do it. And if you email, dont use an account they know was yours!
Isnt referencing just impossible, I have a past tutor who gave me a bad reference and then told me to my face after!! Funnily though I still got the job! Which was lucky cos she was being bitter.
