|

I worked at Costco at one time. Since management was always shifting around I never thought to ask for a reference. However I know that my record, performance reports were good. Is this an automatic reference? If I were to apply for another job, would it be a problem to call the Costco office and ask them to have my file on hand in case they were called?

Most companies simply refer them to a number that only acknowledges you worked for that company. I don't think that they can inform anybody of much else due to privacy laws.

When I went to my present job they were looking for someone with excellent customer service skills.
(I often have to service heating and a/c equipment for high end customers in an upscale setting)
They saw Sears on the resume and that was all they needed to see , according to the guy that interviewed me.
I hope you all get that same "bounce" if you decide to bail.
Of course, I still get the comments about the "millions" I got when I quit and took out my "Profit Sharing"
