ST Advice: Should you alert references on a job application once you submit the application?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Nov 4 '13, 09:51

Before you have an actual interview?

Typically employers will only do reference checks once they've developed a short list or even have their #1 choice, right?

Your IM is correct but if you don't have anyone that would impact your current job, give them a heads up a call may be coming. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 09:55

I wouldn't do it until after you know you have an interview. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 4, 09:52
