Does anyone know what HR reference questions can be asked when a company calls a past employer? I am making it all the way to the final interview and then getting a denial letter! I honestly feel like the company that laid me off is sabotaging me! The company was one of the worst companies I have ever heard of and should of known not to leave my job of almost 7 years for a company that has the worst reviews I have ever seen!

I have a great reference from Okaboji's and I have great customer relationship, I am a team leader and highly motivated and work well with others.

The doctor at the Sears optical in Media Pa is not only highly qualified, she sincerely cares about every patient

When is it appropriate to give references and to discuss salary?

I was wrongfully terminated however I fought so I settled to take Discontinue retirement. They will not change my reference then I would not qualify for the Discontinue retirement. I am an excellent employee, I know that but this reference is painting a bad picture. I have not been terminated before and now have this in my employment history. I need a job.

I wish I can find the time later to ask for favors. I hope you get this praise without be hurt, be harmed, and not in a dangerous situation. God bless us all.

I’ve been out of a job for awhile and the last one i had closed down, so no references from them. And the year before that i was working on my MA, so I wasn't working. That means there is nothing for my resume...what a disaster!! I just moved to a new state and they require me to have a license to work as a MA. I have student loans to pay - I can’t afford that!!!
