May I know if reference checks are done usually before or after the offer? I have recently accepted a job offer in a private company, however civil sector has just called me up to ask if I am still interested in the job which I applied for in March (which I said yes). I was asked to resubmit all the documents and filled in my current employer which was stated on the form. Just wondering if reference checks will be done before the offer, which will not reflect very well to my currently employer which I have only worked for 1-2 months?
