How do you provide job references / referees if you have been self employed?

It is a common question from people who have been self employed for many years on what to do when they end up needing to change profession, take on a new full or part time employed role or have some business requirement that requires a reference. Here are a list of answers of where to go.

We believe the best source of self employed job reference comes from those that you have had business relations with through the course of your self employed job – your clients, your suppliers and if you had them, your creditors. In particular the ones that you have had the most dealings with.

Or alternatively the ones who you have most recently dealt with. Having a long established relationship however is preferred as it conveys a lot more to hear from someone that has had a relationship with you over a period of time.

A great non job related reference if you need one can also come from any professional or not for profit organisations that you have played an active role in – especially if you served on its committee. A reference from such a source can also be very valuable as unpaid work as a volunteer shows trust and commitment!

My dad passed his business on to me since I was 18 and I had been self employed, now that business has closed. When applying for jobs what kind of referees can I put down?

Ask your creditors for a reference
