| May 19, 2019 at 7:21 | comment | added | Uncle B. | @JaneS In Germany, where I live and work, the law forbids a prospective employer to contact a former employer without asking the job applicant. It also forbids the former employer to give information without asking the job applicant. There are even multiple laws that all forbid this, and the fines are quite high. So no, they would certainly not have contacted my previous employer already. | |
| May 19, 2019 at 7:17 | comment | added | Jane S | Actually it still does boil down to the same thing; you haven't heard from them about the status of the position you have applied for, so you wish to follow up to find out where the problem lies. You have a reason you believe is the problem, but I am very sure that if they thought you had lied to them, they would have contacted your previous employer to confirm already. | |
| May 19, 2019 at 7:10 | comment | added | Uncle B. | @JaneS My question is not about whether or not I should follow up, nor how to properly follow up in general, but about whether I should offer for my interviewer to contact my former employer after a dismissal. This question has not been addressed in the question you link to, nor in any of the other questions about following up after job interviews which have been asked on this site and which I have reviewed carefully before asking my question. | |
