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

How do I provide references regarding my work?
I'm running into a similar issue. I've lost touch with everyone from my last job and it was so long ago that none of them could really present an accurate picture of me as a professional now. Are there collegues (internal or external) who would offer you a reference?
