interview references

[kneal]

Hi all, Thank you for the info on correctional interview. It was very helpful. I interviewed for a CA State Prison job and I feel I didnt do very well and other candidates had more nursing experience but.... it did feel like a good fit with the supervisors. My question is they are calling my references. Would they do this if they were not interested or is this policy? Thank you for this forum, I have found so much useful information here.

If they are calling your references, that means you're hired (as long as they speak highly of you) =)

i was so hoping that is what i would hear. fingers crossed. i really like the supervisors whom interviewed me. two references gave stellar reviews but one hasnt connected. too busy. such is the life of a nurse, right.

just got off the phone with one of my references and she is sure they are going to offer me the job. to early to celebrate but sooo excited anyway!!!!
