I am a buisness manager and handle the hiring/ firing and all the yucky details in between at my job. I can say from over the years of conducting thousands of interviews, that I tend to go with my gutt impression of someone during the interview. I tend to look at referance checks as more of a formality. However, I have gotten pretty bad refs on people before which has prompted me to call them back in for a second interview. I usual taylor my questions more towards where their pervious employer had issues and more then once, I have changed my mind at that point based on their responses. I've also called back the person and asked them to come in to simply explain the situation that occured with their former employer b/c I know that sometimes employers will give less than savory refs if someone burned them (ie; gave no notice, abandoned their job, fueld gossip etc.) It's pretty rare that I won't follow-up with an interview unless their refs are all coming back awful to the point that I just don't want to be bothered.

I wouldn't worry at all!!! Even if you get a ref. that's kinda just "eh" employers don't really go off it. By law I am required by the state to conduct a minimum of 3 ref. checks to complete my employees file in the event that we are audited by the state or corporate. That's all :o)

If you ever need tips or pointers for interviews, please feel free to message me! Times are tough right now and I'd love to help you out if you need any guidance!

*Be sure to email them asap with a thank you for the interview and how nice it was to meet them and how excited you are about the possibility of growing with them. I'd also follow-up with them in a week just asking if they'd like to conduct a follow-up interview/ filled the position or where they are in the process. -Makes you look very interested- I hate offerring it to someone and then they decline so if I have someone that I liked that is following up with me, I'm more inclined to go with them :o)

Best Wishes!!
