QUESTION 35 OF 40

Waitrose conducts a two-year reference check on all of our candidates. Is there anything you would like to disclose at this time?

The interviewer would like to know if anything negative will appear in your reference check to determine if they want to move forward in the hiring process. It costs quite a bit of time and money to conduct reference checks, so they want to know ahead of time if there will be a reason for you to be disqualified as a viable candidate.

Focus on being honest in your response. It will not look good for you if you say nothing will show up during your reference check and something does.

"I am happy to comply with any reference check required. My criminal record is clean, but I did have poor credit two years ago. I went through a nasty divorce, and our house went into foreclosure. I have been slowly building my credit and recently qualified for a mortgage to purchase another home. I do not participate in drug use, and you can be assured that I will maintain a clean record if you hire me for this role."

"No, nothing negative will show up in my reference check. I do not have a criminal record and have never even had a ticket or citation issued."
