You never list references from your last job.
You don't want your future company to call your current company to give them a heads up that you are leaving.
For this very same reason, companies never ask for reference from your current job.
- mdpye 9y agoIn the UK, you tend to get an offer conditional on references, and you only provide them once you've given notice to your current place.
- user5994461 9y agoThat's absolutely not what's meant by "listing references". The OP is talking about listing reference, possibly on his resume or on-request, to companies he's prospecting. The UK has a custom to perform an employment and criminal check by a 3rd party company when you join a new company (after you signed a contract and already gave your notice). That's unrelated.
