been applying to a lot of jobs, in my career field and otherwise, and a lot of them are asking if they can contact my previous supervisors. they cannot, because i do not have any way to contact them myself LOL but is this really normal?? who is actually calling those people? is this affecting hiring decisions??


I mean, you could just take the answer at face value and if it applies to you, heed it or don’t…and if it doesn’t apply just disregard it?
But, you do you, man.
