I just completed an application that asked twice if they may contact my present employer. I said “yes,” of course, because I know “no” would read poorly.
Now I’m in a position where I can only guess if they’ll call, and if they do, what I should say to my boss to alert her that, “hey, I applied for a different job and they might call”?
Is this a situation where I tell my boss, or do I just wait it out? I’ve read your post about informing a manager about an interview and handling those processes, but this seems between applying and interviewing, so I’m not sure what, if anything, should be said.
Agggghhhh!
