Also BAA are more interested that the dates are covered for the full 5 years rather than particular information. If this employer did give you a bad reference you can sue them for defamation.
Good luck.
r3please..... do u work for virgin at the minute? This thing has been stressing me out so much. You know when you really really want something and you end up analysing every single obstacle that could possibly interfere? Thats what I'm doing at the minute- the most awful feeling in the world. I was only in the position for two months as well. Surely this cant jeopardise my chances could it?
Oh and I know I could sue the company if worst comes to worst but I really want this job. I dont want to take the risk of getting a bad reference even if i can sue.
If I did put it down whats the chances of them checking up (if my position there was only two months long)? Do they check up every single reference of employment or a selected few- ones which u were employed with longer? This job was like two and a half years ago and I cant believe that a bad working relationship could have such a serious impact on your career- even though its through no fault of your own. My current employer who Ive been with for 1 and a half years will give me a fantastic reference but my mind will not rest thinking about my ex employer.
