Impact of not getting a reference from the latest client

[northernladuk]

Boy there is a lot of rubbish in this thread for a very simple answer.

OP (and a few others. Go read the 2 references sticky and understand what references are in a contracting world and how to handle it.

Nobody cares that much about references.

A bad reference can really backfire at a former employer/client so, when asked, most of them just provide a very general reference like "yeah, he/she worked here as a *role* from *start date* to *end date*"

Hardly anybody goes into details.
