Answer:

If you are worried about getting a bad reference, call your old boss and ask if she would be willing to reach an agreement with you on what she will say to future reference calls. Say something like this: "I am concerned that the reference you are providing for me is preventing me from getting work. Could we work something out so that this is not standing in my way?" Many employers will be willing to work something out with you.
