Hey all,

The reference I'm using for Company X left at least 3 months before I did. I didn't tell the reference why I left (it was simply because I resigned).

Is it going to be an issue if the reference is asked why I left Company X, and they aren't able to answer?

If it is for your most recent job, I would expect your reference to be currently working for that company. One question they are asked is to confirm employment dates, as well as reason for leaving.
If that is the case, consider having two people as references with one still working there. For the reference who no longer works there, give their current work email rather than their personal email.
If this for a job you left some time ago, should be fine having this person as a reference.
