Yes, but make sure that you contact your previous employer in order to give them a heads up - most people don't appreciate getting a call they didn't expect to answer. Also, it gives them a chance to know/remember who you are BEFORE the company who you're interviewing for calls them - it's kind of embarrassing if they don't know who you are...yeah.\n\nHope this helps and good luck with the job... :)

It all depends on the interview...if you felt it went well, there is a good possibility. What they are trying to tell you is that you may not have all of the things they are looking for and if no one else comes forward with better qualifications then they will probably call you.\nBest thing for yo to do is continue to look for work, if someone wants you really bad, they will hire you on the spot, but still interview. \nYou can also do a check up call.\nCheck with them and see if they have hired someone, let them know that u r really interested in the job, also it doesn't hurt to send them a thank you note whether you get the job or not, to let them know you appreciate their  interest in you. Because if they hire someone else and it doesn't work out, then you have your foot further in the door...\n\nGood Luck

On Yahoo! Answers? No. Contact your employer from 2002.

You have to be honest but delicate. Choose your explanation very carefully. They will find out anyway when they call your previous employer. If you are honest, they will appreciate that fact, however; you need to be careful how you explain the situation so they don't think that you can't get along with others. Just be honest.

I know in NY they can only verify that you did actually work for the company during the time you stated. No other information can be provided, however, if you provide the new company with your SS# to do a background check they will be able to see all the jobs you've held and the salary/wages you received. IMO, just don't lie, it will come back to haunt you.

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.

Most places get a mountain of applications for each job these days, especially if it's a decent job.\n\nI'm surprised they promised to call you, they normally only contact the ones they like to call in for interview.\n\nThere is nothing wrong to call them to check that your application arrived safely, but don't be too pushy!

Call them, or have a friend do it, acting as a prospective employer who is checking your references.  See what they say.

Yes, they would let you go in a minute if it was good for their business, what is good for your life? You do not have to list them on any application form.\n\nDoes it feel morally wrong, do not do it and tell the 2nd employer that you told them the hours you were available, but they have messed you up.\n\nYour choice.

You should be able to contact the Human Resources office of your old employer, assumint they are still in business.  Considering that it was your plan, you are entitled to the information within.

Absolutely! You should definitely go to the 2nd interview.  In today's market you should keep your options open.  As long as you haven't already signed any kind of employment contract, you should see what the other job offers.

The Employer can not fire you for looking around... Unless you already have an offer pending from another work place and it is in the same kind of business as your current job. For Example.. If you work for a bank and you are applying for another bank job at a different place it will be conflict of interest and your work place may let you go as soon as they find out that you have an offer and you are nagotiating.. however if they fire you and they do not have proof of this you may apply for Unemployment... \n\nThis has happened to me.. My, new, now employer called for verification of employment at my old job.. the HR from my old job showed up at my office the next business day and gave me my exit interview... Well the new job was still pending and i had no definite answer i applied for unemployment and collected it for 3 weeks until i started the new job..\n\nGood luck..\n\nYou can also search for jobs and then fax or email the resume to the business you are interested in.. This way your resume is NOT online for anyone to look at..\n\nThx\nHope this helps

You best know who you are asking for a reference, if you were a sub standard employee don't expect a shining recommendation.\n\nIf you want to make sure you are getting a good reference request a letter of recommendation from your previous employer.\n\nHowever, as I said if you were not a great employee. Don't expect your former boss to say you were.

Follow-up letters are also effective for\n\nAccepting an interview invitation \nAsking if a position for which you interviewed or submitted a job application is still open \nAsking interviewers for feedback explaining the reasons you were passed over for a job, so you can try to improve your chances \nOffering additional information about your qualifications that your resume and cover letter didn't or can't \nStaying "in touch" by reaffirming your interest in the company, after they've rejected your first attempt at employment \nStaying "in touch" after a layoff. As are many, your employer might be negligent about matching your qualifications to open jobs after laying you off, despite what they promised in your separation package. \nRequesting an extension to accept or decline a job offer \nThanking an employer for a job opportunity after you've accepted it \nThanking an employer for a job opportunity even after you've declined it. You never know when you might need to count on a job offer from that employer again. \nCalling attention to yourself once more, after sending an interview thank-you letter. It might help you to stand out among other applicants. \n\n\ncopy from http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/followupletters/l/aa021003.htm

You usually respond to an ad or employment posting. You fill out an application and the employer looks over the applications. They call the ones that they are interested in for an interview. Some will tell you during the interview, most will let you know after they are done with all of the interviews.
