I've seen a variety of people listed as references, but yeah, it's often a supervisor. I see some coworker references too, which is a red flag for me if someone lists a coworker and not a supervisor.

Ok had a job interview this morning at 9. I think it went pretty good. Gave myself plenty of time to get there and find my way. I dressed nice and was in front of a panel of three people. Did my best to answer the questions and also had to type out ten minutes on a computer of why I want to work there and also what would make them want to hire me.
Welp I think I did good and all. I know the pay will be better than what I was making but also pretty much can get all the over time I want and that would be great. It sucks not having a job. It also sucks to wait to find out if I will be hired because I don't know if I should put out other job applications or not. I hate to ask a place for a job knowing I could be hired somewhere else but if that job doesn't hire me then I waist a week of finding employment. Go Royals keep my hopes up. |

I've only had one potential employer actually check my references. They offered me a job but the pay was shit and they wanted me to do the job and start a new line of business for them. The company was extremely small.

Potential employers don't give a **** about you.
I'd say, if you haven't heard back on a specific job, you should continue looking. The only person you can count on to have your back is you. |

CEO's will be checked 100% of the time and all their references' references will also be called along with college roommates, professors, neighbors, and local police. If you are applying for your first job at McDonalds, Hyvee, or a local business less than 5% of the time.

Hiring managers.
I'm doing some presentations to college students on the topic of mistakes made in the job search/interview process. I'd be interested to see a collection of your answers to these. 1. The resume'/initial contact 2. Interview mistakes that guarantee non-employment with you. Thank you. |

I do check references fwiw. At least 1 contact per considered applicant.
In my industry, I likely personally know someone who knows them or has worked with them. |
