I'm applying to a job tonight. No slacking or waiting around because I really want this one to happen. So I've got my three references that I'm putting in however I'm in a bit of a conundrum.

One of my references is not working right now. She was the Marketing Director at the place where I have interned and was essentially my boss and was in charge of me. She recently left the organization and went and traveled with her husband for a few months and is now in the way beginning stages of starting her own business.

So how do I include that on my list? I don't want it to make it look like she got fired from my organization or something because she's amazing and is a great reference for me to have but I just don't know what to put for her occupation...

Help? Please? Thanks a million!

Could you possibly list "other" and then she/you would be able to explain?

If she is starting her own business, put 'entrepreneur' or small business owner. Also list her old occupation preceded by 'former'

Good luck on the job!
