it would be unethical to lie about the candidate's skills and personality, misleading prospective employers.
No question is prohibited by law. Employers may not consider race, sex, age, religion or disability when hiring, but are free to KNOW those things about prospects.
Nope, but a reference check will do the trick. If they call your past employers for a reference check, they'll more than likely find out.
If a prospective employer calls your previous employer, the previous employer can say whatever they feel is true. If you don't want a bad reference, you may not want to put your previous employer on the application.
On a job application, you might be asked to name several references. References are people who can attest to your character or give favorable information about your ability to work. Your prospective employers want to be able to call the references on the telephone or send them a reporting form in the mail. So they request their address by asking you to list Reference Address. They request their phone number by asking you to list Reference Name Phone. You should write the name and phone number of the person you have chosen to be your reference for this job in this space.It is important that you have these names, addresses, and phone numbers ready whenever you apply for a job. All prospective employers ask for this information. You should also contact anyone you will be using as a reference to give them the courtesy of consenting that you can use them.
Yes
A reference letter is a document written by someone who can vouch for your skills, character, and work ethic. Examples include letters from former employers, teachers, or mentors. These letters can be effectively used in a job application by providing additional insight into your qualifications and demonstrating your credibility to potential employers.
Normally, reference is made privately. When employers talk to the references that you provide, those are private conversations between the employer and your reference. You would likely have better luck asking your reference what s/he has told the prospective employer instead. As a general rule, the reference you provide is likely to provide "good" details about you. If you are rejected nonetheless, why would you suspect your reference(s) sabotage you, other than that you're just not good enough for the job, or that the interviewer(s) just don't like your face?
Online reference checks may not provide as detailed or accurate information as in-person or phone reference checks. There may be limitations in verifying the identity of the person providing the reference online, and the information could be less candid due to the lack of personal interaction. Additionally, online references may be easier to falsify or manipulate compared to traditional reference checks.
A reference letter is a document written by someone who knows a job applicant well, recommending them for a job. It can benefit a job applicant by providing evidence of their skills, work ethic, and character to potential employers, helping them stand out as a strong candidate.
A reference letter is a document written by someone who knows you well and can vouch for your skills and character. It can benefit a job application by providing a positive endorsement of your qualifications and abilities, which can help employers make a more informed decision about hiring you.
Technically, no. You can list it as John "Jack" Doe if you prefer to be called Jack. However, if your nickname is not appropriate for a business setting you should not make reference to it. Don't put it as John "Fatso" Doe. I assure you prospective employers are not amused by such names.
Almost all employers will require a reference from your last 2 or 3 employers, so if you were to be fired it would cetainly be a problem getting a good reference.
