So im trying to apply as a Law enforcement officer and need recent employers as contacts. The problem is, my roommate dated my boss years ago and had it end very badly. I was prompted to chose sides and chose my roommates because of more factual information that I knew.
My boss whom I knew longer than my roommate and whom was a former neighbor/classmate got angry at the personal level and did not want anything to do to me. I tried to keep it professional at work, which didn't last long due to the awkwardness and soon put my 2 weeks in after (I was working PT in retail for a few months while in college).
Fast forward 3 years later and Ive been trying to ask her in a professional manner to be contacted as job supervisor but she has been ignoring me through all mediums (phone, text, facebook and yes we are still FB friends). When asking I dont use the word "reference" but to be merely used a confirmation of my job duties as a supervisor. Im scared that If she does say yes, she will completely fib to the recruiting officer during my background investigation and completely ruin my career before it even started.
She was the only direct manager that I had, and so i cant use any other supervisor that can attest to my duties.
Any suggestions.
