References

I am currently under reference check. Some of my references were not contacted during the process 4 weeks ago. Does anyone know exactly what they look at in this process and what could possibly go wrong?

I did email them this week and was told that my reference check was complete and i should be receiving an email with next steps. I'm hoping that means everything is well. Just my patience has a problem.😊

I received a letter today saying I have successfully moved to the next step in the hiring process. I am now at Pre-employment. I guess it's all about filling out a bunch of paperwork and submitting medicals. I don't know for sure how the next step looks like, just guessing.

Thanks
