Which other countries require phone refs??????????
Oh.....so in Australia, in order to gain employment telephone references are necessary. I married an australian, and am new to living in this region. I wonder are there any other countries where 'character checks" are so vital, or maybe it's only for the aviation industry? I think this is kind of over the top, however if its the way it is down under so be it.........
I lived in Sydney years ago, and I remember-for anyone- trying to become a flight attendant (or a pilot for that matter) was always way more competitive than anywhere else, maybe that has somehthing to do with it? I find it a bit exploitative, thats all...........
