Employment references?


I have been offered a job a bank and they want to do a background check, which is fine. but they also want previous employment references. As far as my current job is concerned thats ok, but I am not in touch with my previous employers. on the form it says would you like us to contact previous employers, what if I answer NO to the previous and Yes to the current employer?

When they ask for the manager's phone number, do they only call the manager or will they call the company too?

don't do that....say yes, what are they going to tell about you?

You don't have to be in touch with them for your prospective employer to check to be sure you really were employed there. If you say "No", that you don't want them to check up on you, then that suggests that you're trying to hide something you don't want known about that time, whereas from your description, it simply sounds like you haven't kept in touch.

Your prospective employer may or may not even check up on your history if you do agree, but if you say "no", that's rather a red flag -- they'll probably think twice about hiring you, wondering what it is you want to hide.
