What should I do if I want to apply for a new job but I do not want my current employer or anyone else at my job to know I am looking and how then do I put someone down as a resume reference?

You need to be cautious about who receives your resume. Do not answer blind ads. You could visit an employment agency and let them find a position for you, stressing confidentiality. Choose your references carefully, perhaps someone else who has left the company. Talk to them ahead of time explaining that they may get a call and request that they protect your secrecy.

They can only state whether you worked there and what dates.

How should you answer 'May you contact your employer' if you don't want your employer knowing you are looking for a job?
If I was you I would mark no and then explain to them why you answered it this way. Most employers will understand why you dont want your current employer to find out you are looking for employment elswhere.A different perspectiveAs someone who evaluates applications and interviews and hires people I would unequivocally state that you should always answer yes. ing no to this question indicates you have something to hide. Any company looking at applicants already assumes the candidate does not want their current employer to know they are searching for a new job, and of course it will show on your application that you are currently employed by said company. If somebody does contact your current employer, it means you already have the job and they're following up by checking facts.
Can you list someone as a job reference without their knowledge?
Yes, you can list someone as a job reference without their knowledge. It is a normal expectation that if you have worked for someone (or with someone) previously, you can mention that fact, and your former employer (or coworker)should be willing to confirm it if asked.
How do I answer references name and address?
You have to ask someone (a previous employer for a work reference or someone who knows you well for a personal reference) if they are willing to supply a reference for you (this is the polite and courteous thing to do). If they are willing then you write their name and address on your application where this question is asked (stating whether the reference is personal or work related).
How do you sue a company who did an employment verification with your current employer without your consent?

What does a letter of good standing mean?
