Job searching while under investigation

Nurses Recovery

Published

I was suspended from my job last week and was told there would be an internal investigation. ( co-sign discrepancy)I’m trying to get a job ASAP. I’m so nervous the places I’m applying are going to reach out to my job and they’ll say things that will affect me getting the job. Has anyone ever been in this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TY

You're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. However, as many have said, even if places shouldn't say ill of prior workers some do. Why not spend a bit and have a check your reference place call your place of work and get a reference check. Then you'll know exactly what they said.

Search under "check your reference." I think when I did it, it cost $40 and was well worth it knowing that I received a fair reference.

Okay, I did not even know this existed. But, I guess there is a market for anything. Thank you for the tip!

Who do I pay the 40.00 to? What company?

They were not that expensive, but a recent glance notes it's about $80.


Both reference checkers did a professional job.  It was worth it.  Some references unexpectedly gave me a glowing reference and others had factual errors.  A phone call to HR got that fixed right away.  Had I not fixed that error I might have been perceived as not being truthful, so it was worth it.
