]]> Comment on How Often Are References Called? by Brad http://careerexcuse.com/blog/?p=52&cpage=1#comment-197 Brad Sat, 29 Aug 2009 15:12:05 +0000 http://careerexcuse.com/blog/?p=52#comment-197 Most employers will only verify information for fear of being sued. Even asking if you would rehire is open to interpretation - perhaps we eliminated that department and I have nothing else for you - so no I wouldn't rehire. Perhaps I thought you were an ass and didn't like working with you - regardless of if you were brilliant or not - no I wouldn't rehire - but you didn't ask me why I wouldn't so you as perspective employer will take that no answer and infer negativity. What will really sink you is an employer googling you or finding you on other social networking sites that would lead to your current employer, etc - and if you're making up an employer - you may have to do some tap dancing around that one. Everyone wants a comprehensive background check -but they all play the same game - we only verify yes / no on dates, sometimes title, sometimes salary.

I was almost fired because a power-hungry harpie in my office wanted to steal my job and made all sorts of false and exaggerated accusations. They went into my file - but what recourse do I have? In a way, this gives some power to the working guy and not the supervisor.
