[quote=Anonymous]I’m in the middle of job interviews (desperate to change jobs). My former boss (he recently left the org) will be one of my references. We discussed him serving as a reference 2 months ago (it’s been a long slog for me thru a gauntlet of interviews). I got word this morning that his partner had a heart attack and is hospitalized. I sent him a short note of empathy and offered to help in any way possible. My question - if I advance in the hiring process and they finally ask for my references - how appropriate is to give his name? I know I’m being selfish - but I’m desperate to get out of my current environment and don’t know if it’s inappropriate and insensitive to let him know a future employer may reach out. What can I do? I don’t have another direct supervisor who I trust to provide a reference. I worked for him for ) years. What should I do?[/quote]
