Hi,
I would like know the following.
As you all can imagine it is often hard to give the current supervisor as referee as you do not want to let them know that you are looking for a new job or you have personal problems with this individual. Is it acceptable to nominate another team member who works on a similar level but does have an overview how I do perform at work or is that a total 'NO go'? I am often wondering how jobseeker handle this as I think that must apply to so many people.
Is there any common rule how current referees should be or is it reasonable to nominate someone who worked with me two years ago?
What are the most common questions when checking references via phone?
Thanks for your expertise!!! I am excited to hear your answers...
