[quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe that someone doesn't remember you from 4 years ago enough to tell someone whether or not you were good at your job. So, they may or may not like you, but they certainly don't remember you as anything special, and that isn't a reference you want. And you have a past supervisor that didn't like you. I don't know what you were like at your old job, but you may want to chalk that up to a bad fit for references. You also maybe want to think back as to why you can't get a good reference from that job. I'm not saying it to be judgmental, I'm saying it because often people don't see what happened accurately and you may want to self-assess before jumping back into work.

Also, this job is not high paying enough to care much about your references, but I agree that it's good to have them handy. It just helps your esteem. I personally think references are only good if you're on the fence about someone. People aren't going to give you bad references but if they can't manage to find any good ones, that to me is a red flag. Use the PTA references and, possibly, the Principal. Hopefully, you'll get this job and then you'll have good professional references.[/quote]
