A few hours after my interview yesterday, I received a phone call from the Talent Acquisition Specialist with whom I had been working for the entire process. She mentioned that I had performed well in the interview and they were interested in 'moving to the next step'. In this case, reference checks.
I was surprised at how nervous this made me. Although I have never lied in a resume or interview about my performance at a position or my duties in that positions; I have to wonder if my perception of my performance and duties might be significantly than how my previous supervisors and coworkers understood them.
They will be using a third part system; A-Check America. Based on the information I gave them I assume they will perform two verifications an Employment Verification and Professional References Verification. They may also perform a MERIT Character Evaluation on the basis of a 'personality test' that I took the first day I was interviewed.
I have contacted all of my references regarding this, and asked that they be honest in their reporting of my performance, strengths and weaknesses; hopefully all goes well.
They should contact me within five to eight days to inform me of the results. Due to the rapid nature of their return call, however, I do not anticipate that these will have as significant an effect on the outcome as they may normally.
Best regards,
Beth
