Yes k had my interview wed of first week and my
Ex boss and current boss got asked for references
For me on the Saturday.
There's plenty of time though if u only had interview last week.
Plus your referees might not tell you they've has reference letters.
So don't worry. :-)

Hope so, both my referees said will let me know if they hear anything, spoke to 1 of them today and received nothing as of yet... If yours were contacted so quickly after interview do you think that I've been unsuccessful? My friend had hers on a Thursday and her ex boss got reference form on the following Monday....

hiya

i have spoken to a few ppl i know today who have had rejection letters and their references were'nt requested...so i have no idea...
but saying that they might have requested ref and then not happy with the ref?
i honestly don't know, its a hard one to call...

i felt quite awkward in work today seeing my boss (she'd had a letter for my ref just under 2 weeks ago and i hadn't told her..oops..have just gone back after 2 weeks and she asked me if heard anything...then she was ok...

fingers crossed for us all..

i can't stand all this waiting... confused
