Job Referencing Question:
How would you request permission for employment references?
Answer:
A prospective employer should ask your permission before contacting your references. This is especially important if you are employed, you do not want to surprise your current employer with a phone call checking your references. It is perfectly acceptable to say that you are not comfortable with your current employer being contacted at the present time. However, do have a list of alternative references available.
