Regarding Professional References:

I held my last job for a little over 10 years. While I was employed, we were instructed to NEVER provide references for another employee due to legal implications. HR would provide only the dates of employment. I can't remember if they said they would comment if we were eligible for rehire or on salary.

Any references I had earlier than the last 10 years are not available.

How do I provide references regarding my work?
