It can be a challenge to find that perfect new career, but sometimes things come together in just the right way, and voila! You’ve found that ideal new job, one that is a perfect “fit” for you.
Imagine the frustration, then, to having sailed through the pre-screening process with flying colors…having “nailed” your interviews…perhaps being assured that an offer would be forthcoming in very short order…only to never hear from that prospective employer again. Equally frustrating, the unspoken question – “What went wrong?”
The surest way to ensure that your references are responding appropriately to employment inquiries is to conduct a reference check(s). If a reference check confirms negative or inappropriate feedback, you will have recourse to prevent that person from further damaging your career.
