I was laid off a few months ago from my first job out of college, which was fully remote. Now, I'm in the middle of an interview process for a new position and need to gather references. My former manager has already offered to be a reference, but I want to reach out to another coworker as well. The challenge is that most of my former teammates were international, and I don’t have their contact information since we never needed to exchange phone numbers. I'm unsure if they will see my LinkedIn messages, and I'm on a tight timeline if this interview progresses quickly. I'm considering emailing them at their company addresses, but I worry that it might be weird or inappropriate since I was laid off from there. Has anyone else faced this situation?
