Alderson said:I have a problem...
I just received a call from the Recruiting Centre telling me that all my references are invalid (I've discussed this in the past and knew this day would come) and that I need to pick out four new references.
The problem is... I don't have four references to use, I only have one person who isn't a relative that has known me for 5+ years.
What's recommended that I do?
Alderson said:This is what's on the e-file that I need to fill out again:
Provide the following information for four (4) valid references whom we can contact. Reference checks will be made and some or all of the following information will be confirmed: your honesty, reliability and maturity; your performance under stress; your ability to get along with supervisors and co-workers; your personal strengths and weaknesses. The references provided must be able to provide information covering the last five (5) years or to age 16 (whichever comes first).
I'm going to give the recruitment centre a call today just to clarify if each reference needs to have known me for 5+ years, or if they can be added up.
The problem right now is, I don't have educational references that I've known for 5+ years, nor have I been in contact with any of my teachers since I was in school. I've also never kept in contact with any professional references after my job, nor was I ever at one job for 5+ years.
Right now, the only two I can think of is my doctor, and my dentist.

Doctor
Dentist
Hair cutter/Barber
And for my last one - I use to play paintball for 10+years and would always go to this one paintball place to play there. I also began to work there as of this year, would I be able to use him as a reference since I've been going there for 5+ years and have talked to him before I even began working there?

Alderson said:Thank you both for helping me out here.
One last question. I plan on using my dentist, but the problem is it's not like the dentist and I speak all that much. The only time we would talk is when I go get my teeth cleaned.
Also, my doctor probably doesn't have an email address, is it okay to leave that part with a N/A through it?

I am wondering how long this background check will take.

Fpseelground said:Yes I called today and they said I was medically fit, but I couldn't attend the enrollment ceremony on he Januray 22nd as I am waiting on my background check. Also the BMQ I am set to train in is supposed to start on the 30th of January, I'm wondering if I'll get the check done with and enrolled by the time the BMQ starts.
