Do you want to list your ex employer as a reference..I wouldn't. Find someone who will give you a good reference..Make sense?I Need advice about a job that I have resigned from?
No, they're not allow to say anything by law other than if you worked there and the time period that you did.
Previous employers are not allowed to state what you did specifically. However, they are allowed to say if you are eligible for rehire.
Alex, thats a fine line. they are not suppose to. Carry a tape recorder during your next interview. :)
Recruiter typically checks reference to verify tenure of employment, title, scope of responsibility etc. However, there may be deeper questions. As long as the questions are not driven by discriminatory motive, I think your ex-employer is not subject to any restriction on providing your ';history'; at the firm.
Good luck.
Companies will not get into the particulars of a previous employees employment. They typically share basic information such as, job title, responsibilities, salary, dates of employment, etc. However, some do state if you are rehirable or not. My opinion is that you probably shouldn't worry to much about what the company may say, but instead on how you are going to put a positive spin on the situation.
Yes. Your employer can report any job-related information that is factual.
Depends on the state your are in, this is controlled by state law. The vast majority of states do not allow anything beyond dates worked, title, and sometimes salary or salary range. Some states, like Illinois, lets supervisors say anything as long as the supervisor believes it is true.
Good news is that if your company has offices in multiple states they will go by the most restrictive law for a reference.
Even if your state law allows any type of reference, you can control that by being careful who you list on applications. For example if your immediate supervisor/boss may cause you trouble, do not list his/her name. Most employees work for a variety of people at all times, so you may be able to indicate others you worked for or that you worked for a variety of people. Another idea is to only list the phone number of the HR department on applications. HR people tend to be the most careful in what they say about former employees, even when they do not have to be.
Remember when asked 'why you quit' to have a good reason like 'to look for a better opportunity'. Good luck.
For one thing you're not guilty of ****! as long as the customer aint bitchin, for another How's the colleagues rep, and can it be proved? **** that! Its bullshit, and I bet neither bring a mention of it if they dont want to run to the mattress
