What is the name of your state? New York
Are there any laws or guidelines pertaining to what can and cannot be said to a potential employer by a previous employer? A previous employer of mine has been making disparaging comments about me when called, and it has cost me a few jobs already. I don't use him as a reference, but since it is a tight community in the industry I am in they seem to know just who to contact. We had a personal falling out, so obviously all his comments are personal and not job related. Any links to websites or resources on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
