[quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB.  If you're interviewing just tell your prospective employers that you are looking for a new position because your current one isn't the best fit for you.  Be prepared to answer why it isn't a good fit (appropriately - don't slam your current employer).  If they ask to speak with your current employer you can say that they are not aware you are looking for a new position so you're not comfortable giving their contact information.  Be sure you have other work references to provide.

Also make the point that you have been with the family for more than a year (which helps you look stable to a prospective employer).

I would understand not being able to talk with your current employers but I would want assurances through some other means (other good references, perhaps some trial working time, frank conversation about what would be the right fit for you and why, etc...) that you're a good choice.

Just be professional and honest (carefully) and you should be fine.

Good luck.[/quote]
