How character references can help you land a job
If you have a poor work history, gaps in employment, a criminal record or other problems that are hindering your landing a new job, character references can go a long way in bolstering a prospective employer's confidence in bringing you on board.
Who makes the best character reference? Now don't pad the list with your BFFs and running buddies -- Ha! Take time and give this serious consideration. Business owners and managers whom you know well. Former work colleagues. A favorite teacher with whom you've stayed in touch. Your pastor, rabbi or other spiritual advisor. A longtime neighbor. A family friend. You get the idea.
Reach out to them and ask for their help. I promise you'll get it. And with it, lots of moral support too.

Yes, you can be surprised at who is willing to help you take your career to the next level. And their remarks show you how genuinely they feel towards you and your working experience even though a lot of times superiors don't express it at the time.
Very good advice I have three of the most wonderful recommendations I had no idea those people were going to write that about me and it made me cry and I know the job force is tough right now it's a straight-up battle because no one has hired me in 2 years but I'm hopeful and this is good advice

I'm currently looking for employment- because things are very up/down at my current job. They are Even going to shut down for at least a month to remodel with no guarantees of working at another location. I went to my current manager and this manager who's worked with me for several years is willing to give me a reference for another job. Even though they understand that it might mean losing me completely.
Super advice. As a Certified Professional Resume Writer, I deal with these issues almost on a daily basis. The type of people you listed make outstanding references, often better than supervisors, as they know a person in many other ways than simply as an employee. Who better than a doctor or clergy?
Personally, I've used character references a lot, as I've worked for companies that are no longer in business or can't find people I worked for 20 years ago, etc.
