If your former employer does not respond after 4 calls with messages, it is our opinion that we must discontinue the job reference checking process and close your order as not to look suspicious or unnatural to your job reference. You do not want job reference checking to seem like harassment to your former employer.

Please look at this situation as a potential employer would; obviously your former employer does not care to respond, thus implying, that they do not want to give you a good job reference.

The mere fact that your former employer is not returning the job reference checking call does imply that they do not wish to discuss your previous employment. This is your answer about what your former employer will say about you.

Your case
Special circumstances may dictate we deviate somewhat from this job reference checking process. Your reference case is still in the process of being completed. Thank you for your patience.

We must be very cautious with your job reference checking. If there are too many calls made to your former employer, it may signal that something is amiss. During a regular job reference checking process any potential employer would call no more than 2 times and at that point they would dismiss this former employer as not wishing to give a job reference.
