If you found out your referral/reference gave you an unfair negative review, what would you do? I moved on to the next step in the hiring process, and they want some referrals as part of this step. One of my references, the Head of Sales, didn't like me for no reason. I don't know if it's because I’m an introvert and socially awkward (I rarely socialize with them), but I'm wondering if she's going to try and sabotage me.

She purposely misspells my name so I won’t put it past her to be petty. I never asked her what’s her problem, but I couldn't give anyone else’s contact info because I didn't work directly with them.

Talk to the person before sharing their info. Just a casual heads up like hey is it ok if I note you down as a reference?

I wasn't able to contact her before I could give them her info but she seemed ok with it when I reached out to her afterward the interview

Oof. This is interesting. Do you HAVE to give one? Sometimes you aren’t required if you politely decline. Maybe you can reach out to the person first and let them know, that may help.

Sadly yes, I have to have one, neither was I able to let them know ahead of time.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
