How To Respond To Reference Requests When Prior Employers Use Automated Verification Systems Only?

The last two employers I've had do not provide verbal references. They use an automated system which only verifies title, employment dates and salary. This is the law in both the state where I worked as well as the one I live in and am now seeking a job in. But all applications continue to ask for three references who can speak to my character. I'm a director so I can't ask one of my former staff. Anyone who did supervise me won't risk breaking agency policy/law in the event they say something they shouldn't. I do have people who can act as a reference-colleagues but I don't have 3 and I'm concerned interviewer will think I'm lying. Not sure what to do; had a string of bad luck-third prior employer closed and I have no information as to where the owner is. Employers know the law but continue to ask and if I disagreeing fearful I will lose out on potential jobs. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just asking for a chance

hi my name is freddy. i have a felony conviction from 1996. i have no parole or probation. i am trying to get my cdl through tdi but i can only try if i can get a truck company to be willing to hire me as soon as i get my cdl. its not easy but im trying to get a company to say that they will hire me. all i wnt is to be given a chance to prove my sincerety and willingness to start my life clean and not let my past choices stop me from reaching a better life. on my felony somebody died because of my negligence but i took responsibility and did my time. I was 26 when this happened and Im 45 now. we all make mistakes and all im asking is for an opportunity to prove my sincerety and willingness for work. It seems all the applicastions ive filled as soon as they see that i have a past conviction dont even think twice in throwing my application away. but im not goig to give up or get overwhelmed. Im sure someone outthere knows of a truck company willing to give me a chance if i get my CDL license or any place where I can get a job. if anyone knows how to help my email is Alfredomarty1970@yahoo.com or 205-352-3040

Employee at JC Penney was asked to leave work by boss because…

she was wearing shorts that were “too revealing”...but she bought them in JC Penney’s “career style” section. Have you heard about this girl? Have you ever broken a dress code?

Income

Does it make more sense to have two jobs at minimum wage or one just a bit above? Id get paid less for the one job but i have a decent chance at moving up there. should i risk it?
