Job Referencing Interview Question:

Tell me about employment verification regarding job references?

Submitted by: Ali Hassan Siddiqui

The standard questions a hiring manager will ask are ones related to your employment. The employer will want to verify that you did indeed work with this reference, the dates of your employment and the reference's relationship to you. Employers also want to know why you left. It is very important that their story matches that of the candidate. If the candidate says it was a mutual parting but the reference says they were let go or laid off, there will be a problem. The candidate should always be truthful when asked why they left, as the potential employer will check out their story.
