I hope this is okay to post here, please let me know if not and I'll remove it! So I've been trying to apply to jobs as a recruiter and a lot of applications ask for 3 references immediately and I have no one to ask. I had to leave my last job abruptly cause I had to take care of my dying grandmother and nobody n family wanted to step up but unfortunately this blindsided my boss and coworkers who were pissed cause I only got hired 5 months ago and was going to play an integral role in a lot of projects in development. I haven't stayed in contact with other boss's and coworkers from previous positions and I feel like it'd be really inappropriate to put them down having not talked to them in years.
Would three people be willing to lie and say they worked with me previously in past positions I had? I especially need someone to lie they worked at my last recruiting job cause its the only experience in recruiting I have.
