Today, I found out the reason I can't get a job. My previous employer didn't know my name, so when places I applied to called there for a reference, my boss said he had no recollection of me working there. FML

You kind of deserve it.... I'm pretty sure you're supposed to ask someone if they will give you a reference before you put them down for one, so that way they have some notice and aren't surprised when a potential employer calls them.

I didn't misspell anything, seeing as how I didn't write that. I don't know why you would announce to a moderator that you came back after being banned, seeing as how that defeats the purpose of our ban.

When applying for a job there is usually a place asking you to list your previous employers. He never said he listed his boss under reference.. I'm 16 and have only filled out two applications and I even know that.

#7 has a point. YDI for not informing your former employer that you were using them as a reference.

Depends on how long you worked there and if it was a big place with a lot of staff.

11- Maybe they were so inconsequential that he never knew that OP worked there. Like maybe someone else hired them and the manager never really knew them. God I'm weird.
