gavin_3110 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Applied for a job and they invited me to interview next week. They also contacted my referees at that point, one of whom is my current boss. Now the cat is well and truly out the fucking bag. What's the fucking need for that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I just tried to hand a couple of bags of jumpers into one of these Cash4Clothes2go2Africa2folkwithnoclothes places. Got the KB as apparently it's too hot in Africa for all my jumpers. Didn't even want the Ralf Lauren. Got £2 for some shorts and teeshirts though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine contacting your referees for a reference. If you didn't want your current boss to know, why did you put him as a referee? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more wondering what the point is in contacting them for a reference before they've met you for interview? Nevermind given an offer of employment. Wasn't stated either at any point of the process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine how awkward your workplace is going to be, especially if you don't get the job and you have to stay there with them knowing you can't wait to leave the place. Just thought I'd bring that to your attention in case you hadn't thought of it yet. No problemo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Imagine contacting your referees for a reference. If you didn't want your current boss to know, why did you put him as a referee? When did you last apply for a job MC? Not meant to be cheeky, genuine question. Since I've started work I've always had to give my most recent employer as a reference, I thought it was standard practice. There is normally a check box where they ask if they can be contacted before the interview. Stupid fucking question but at least they ask rather than go ahead and do it without you knowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I had to fill in some paperwork earlier for my young French work placement studenty girl. Left it on her desk for her to check I'd got all the details correct. "Just one change", she said. "I 'ave corrected you job title to Pervert". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is normally a check box where they ask if they can be contacted before the interview. Stupid fucking question but at least they ask rather than go ahead and do it without you knowing. It has been a while, but I'm fully aware of the standard practice of having your most recent employer as a reference. I agree that the check box is stupid, but it's probably a cover against anyone claiming a previous employer has maliciously given them a poor reference . Having said that, as long ago as I was applying for jobs, if you put someone down as a reference, it was hardly a surprise if the prospective employer contacted them at ANY stage in the interview process. I know of people who have been in the position where they turned up to the "interview" to be offered the job on the basis of their application and references - this may be the case here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) I really want to say that actually is a picture of the Inverness boy Mubtumbo and the Daily Mail's been hilariously racist, but I can't see him affording that car on a Caley wage. Tricky. Edited July 12, 2016 by Miguel Sanchez 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
