I asked a job related question the other day on here and got some really helpful answers, so I was hoping you all could give me some further insight into this.

Basically, I have a chronic illness which means I spend most of my time at home and I’m largely disconnected from other people and don’t really have anything in the way of references. I’ve owned my own business for the last several years selling products online, but that business has been declining for awhile and I’m looking into customer service type jobs that I could do from home.

If a company asks for references, how would I work around that?

    Companies and business owners lie to people and their employees all the time, you have no moral requirement to be honest with them either. Everybody lies to get ahead, it’s fine.

    It’s a shame that it’s come to this, but you’re absolutely right @BettyWhiteInHD@lemmy.world . One does what they must to get by.
