Evaluate me
In order to study law in my state, I have to “register” so they can start checking into my character and fitness. 
Do you have any idea how hard it is to come up with the CURRENT name and address of every supervisor you’ve had since you turned 18? I have lived all over the U.S in the past 10 years, worked almost 20 jobs (you have to include paid, unpaid, volunteer, etc.) and almost no one I worked for is still with their company. I also have to have a large number of personal references who cannot be family, fellow law students or former supervisors. 
I’m not sure I can come up with that many people, especially if they have to discuss me in-depth. I think people might vaguely remember who I am…
Anyway, of course I waited too long to start on this and now I’m rushing to finish. The good news is that (I think) I’ve tracked down two former supervisors who I’d actually enjoy reconnecting with. I need to call one tomorrow because her company web site just gave a general email and I’ve directly emailed the other after finding her web site (she’s a publisher-turned realtor). The other good news is that the kind old jewish lady I worked for as a proofreader at my first “real” job still works there! 
One less person to hunt down. Now I wonder if I should call everyone I’m listing to give them a heads up that sometime in the next year they might hear from a bar examiner?
And what do you do about restaurant jobs? The turnover in restaurants is so high that supervisors have come and gone. The instructions say that you should find an updated address for your supervisor. How on earth do I do that for restaurant managers? I also worked for a catering firm as one of many, many seasonal tuxedo-clad servers. I got to rub bosoms with Dana Delaney 
and direct Rob Lowe to the men’s room 
at a crowded White House Correspondents Dinner after-party and also got a brief glimpse of President Clinton at a White House state dinner. But could I tell you who the boss was among all of those earpiece-wearing glam gals and guys? Nope. Wonder if “HR Director” is appropriate in that case? Should I attach an addendum explaining? Am I overanalyzing a bit?

I had to go through this with the bar application in the spring. We don’t have to register in my state.
Most people, while filling out all jobs since their 18th birthday, had the 4 summers between years of college. The end. I went through letter “u.” It was not easy.

I’m not going anywhere. You can put me down if you want!

We had to go through this in Florida as well. Because I like to live on the edge, I waited until a month before graduation to start my application. I also saved myself the headache of trying to find current addresses for people I had worked for when I was 16 and just went with the address I had last known them to be at. I figured if the bar was really concerned with what the manager at Kinney Shoes had to say about my ability to be a good lawyer, they could find her themselves. In the end, it didn’t seem to matter. As long as you actually complete the application and don’t have an arrest record, I don’t think the examiners much attention to the details.

When I applied in Oregon, I had to do the same thing. It sucked because I’d worked tech and both companies had been acquired and sold twice over. I ended up putting the old information down with an explanation and it worked just fine. Good luck!
