MAM are strange with references.
They called a colleague of mine first. 4 Days after my AD. then I didnt hear from them in 3 months. Then I get a call saying they need another reference, as my manager manager is not suitable as they work for the same company as my colleague.
I thought they just wanted any 2 refs. They said to me a supervisor is fine.
The problem was with me, I only had that manager from the one company, as i haqve been at the same place for donkeys years. She said they cant do that, and when I told her thats all i have, she said she will try call and see if its allowed.
Didnt hear for a week or two, then get a call saying im through to the medical/security. So must have been ok! Seems strange. Id just say thats all you have, as thats all i could do, as past managers have all left and dont know where in the world they are.
Turned down the offer with MAM as had anohter offer Full Time Mainline with VA.
Wish I could give my spot to someone else waiting!
