Six years later, he's probably sorted one way or another.

The game has not changed in 6 years, do you what you have to do, they don't call it a rat race for nothing!

Also use soft words like 'fluffed my CV up a tad' , instead of 'wrote a load of ****e in it'

Listen, just don't do it. Blatantly lying on a CV is just not on, exaggerate or be very story telling in an interview but I wouldn't fake a reference.

Anyway, no one has offered you a solution.

Let me give you one, go out there and do some volunteering, once a week until summer that will give you a decent reference. Do it in something your interested in or maybe not.

I actually lost out on a very good job one time because I only had one good reference but needed two.

If I had of made up a reference I would of got the job.

All these years later if I'm still gutted I didn't get my friend to act as a "reference".

As to those that think that not providing a P45 will catch the OP out - facts are some employers who never bother their rear end to give these to their ex employees. Yes it is a 'requirement' in employment law - however if a company doesn't comply - there are no sanctions or authority to force them to do so.
