Yes yes I am a lesbian trapped in a man's body.

 

I don't post so much these days that I am a lesbian

about lesbians and he didn't like lesbians but he

 

likes to reads my posts and he reads every one

 

of them.

Anybody in human resources ( HR ) or encounter similar experience can provide advice.

 

Recently, I sent some ( 2 or 3 ) resumes out direct the companies to apply for job opening they have.

 

Now, 1 of my ex-colleague from my ex-company told me that "somebody / someone" contacted him recently to "ask about me". My ex-colleague told me "the person" apparently was doing a reference check on me. None of the companies have called me nor invited for interview. Blind reference check ? My ex colleague also does not know who and from where the caller ?? No head no tail, he asked me wat job/ company I applied...does reference check caller reveal their details????

 

Wat does this mean ?

All the best, hope u can land your dream job in 2017!

It's good that the company does reference checks

I know of others that don't do it even for senior level and end up paying for expensive duds

have you ever given your ex-colleague's number as a reference while filling up your resume? 

if yes then its normal following up. 

 

If u didnt include him/her... 

you have a even higer chance.

Some company would do reference check before invite the candidate for an interview or do reference check after the interview. Such reference check will affect the company whether to interview or hire the person de.

A lot of interviewers don't know what they are doing.

 

Please use it to your advantage to get the job.

 

It doesn't matter if you cannot do it.

 

Just enjoy the salary. 

 

It sure beat being out of work.

I thought the worst is to be invited for interview just for interviewer to ask why u bother to apply when u are so under qualified

 

If they said that the job is yours.

 

If they had better candidates they would have employed them already.

 

If they called me in and said this to me, I will say writing resumes is my weak

 

point. I am not very good in writing all the things I have done. Then I would

 

BS them about all the other things other people have done and I give the

 

credit to myself. If they are so stupid to waste their own time there is a good

 

chance they will be dumb enough to believe me. Crack a joke or two and in

 

a very subtle way tell them how smart they are and see the change in their face.

 

Telling dumb people how smart they are always get the you the job, deal, contract etc

 

:D

Actually, it is a bit odd and I wouldn't appreciate someone randomly calling my previous companies (or even present company) to ask about me and letting them know I applied for a job even before you speak to me.

 

Whole world/industry will then know I am looking to move.

I couldn't agree more.

 

How can the new company let my present company know

 

I am looking to run away. This is down right unethical.

 

If this is how they operate I wouldn't want to work for that company. 

 

:D

The company should not call your present company for reference but calling your previous companies should be ok de.

It's one thing to call the HR and ask (my assumption is that HR has some obligation to be professional and discrete) but to just randomly call up ex-colleagues is odd leh.

Calling HR is worse right? HR will likely immediately inform your manager. Colleagues may still cover up for you.

 

Maybe they want to sabo the candidate , make him accept lower offer after he get screwed by his company.
