Quick question about updating resumes.
13 years ago
So I'm trying to update my resume but my past references have gone AWOL.
1. The first one went out of business some time ago. I have him friended on Facebook and asked him if I could get his number to use as a reference but haven't heard back yet. If he doesn't respond what can I do? I was also his only employee so I can't ask anyone else.
2. With the second one my previous employer transferred somewhere else, leaving new people who don't know who I am. My co-workers have all left as well (there was some immense drama regarding corporate policy, so people quit left and right). The numbers I did have no longer are operational so I can't reach my co-workers to be references.
Any ideas would help. Trying to find work ASAP.

As it so happens, I worked on my resume a little while ago... I read up you can put in for your References section "Available upon request". Basically if they want to call up references, you have plenty of time to gather up references and keep them updated while not needing to print up new resumes every time.
