Well if they are going to contact your employers then theres not a lot you can do. Maybe telling them that they are going to call might help and then just hope that you worked hard enough to get a good reference.

contact the occupational health department of your local hospital, if they can't do it as you're an individual they will be able to point you in the right direction!\nPS i hope you've already got the new job - it's a lot of effort (and expense) to go to if you've not been offered the post yet!

I would address it up front. Be honest with your interviewer that your old boss was not too happy when you left and you would prefer if they did not contact him for that reason. Maybe you can ask someone else where you worked to speak to the interviewer. Someone of authority who knows your situation.

tell both of your employers that you are keeping two jobs, then asked them to schedule accordingly

There's nothing to be alarmed about here.  Not all companies do phone interviews.\n\nThe CEO's response seems fine too.  He is a busy person who doesn't have time to schedule individual appointments -- that's what the HR department is for. He wasn't trying to be dismissive of you; probably just following protocol.\n\nI wouldn't sweat a thing.  They're interested in you and want you to come in for an interview ... that's a Good Thing, so stay focused on that!\n\nAnd, good luck!

It is certainly not a good idea. Slagging off at your previous employer will give your prospective employer a bad impression. You should follow these principles.\n\n1. Think about what you are saying well before the interview. If you have a referee from your previous job, you need to make sure that you have a consistent story. \n\n2. Be tactful about the job as the interviewer will wonder if you will say the same things about them.\n\n3. Remember to be truthful. They might check with your former boss. Portray any mistakes as a learning experience that will benefit future employers.\n\n4. Don't gloss over what happened but don't raise it unnecessarily.\n\n5. Try to turn negatives into positives.\n\nGood luck with the job interview.

At the Job I am at right now, I answer the phone "Dispatch."  Then some people ask "Can I have Dispatch Please?!"

I would just wait.  For one your current employer can't fire you because you're looking for new employment.\n\nPersonally, if I were the one doing the hiring, I wouldn't devulge any information about when you would be working.  I would tell them that they need to speak with you.

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

I would say something like, "Hello, my name is_____.  I interviewed with _______ last week, and I'm just calling to find out if a decision has been reached."\n\nYou could mention that you'd be happy to provide them with any extra information which might aid in the decision process, and that you'd be happy to meet with them again.

Did they say "When are you avaliable to work?" late in the interview, because thats a good sign. The first question you listed is pretty good, I don't know about the second. Either way, Good Luck Bro! Hope it works out.

wait another few days and/or call back and politely ask of whether you got the job or not.\n\nwisest thing to do next time is when you turn in your application, ask on how you will be contacted regarding your status. If they say "We'll call you" then all you can do is wait. If they give specific instructions, follow them.\n\n... whatever it takes for a job, right?
