Whether you have been employed there for one-day or ten-years, that company will remain your current employer. If a job application is asking who your current employer is, you should feel safe and secure in providing them with that information.
However, if you are asked on a job application if they can reach out to your current employer, I would recommend that you say no. It is not uncommon for candidates to refuse to allow potential employers to reach out to their current employers and will not affect your chances at landing the interview or the position. The reason why you do not want to allow potential employers to reach out to your current employer is because your current employer likely does not know that you are looking or interviewing at other companies or organizations.
By allowing another employer or company to reach out to your current employer, you risk your current employer finding out that you are looking at other positions. While this is not inherently wrong, and definitely not illegal , it can cause friction and conflict at your current employer. An alternative approach to formatting a resume is to include the most relevant work experience first. In this format you may opt to include a different job before your most recent employer if the older experience is more closely related to the position you are applying for.
When a prospective employer asks you to provide contact information for your most recent employer, consider doing so unless it will negatively impact your chances at securing the position or your previous employer requested you not to share it. If your previous employer has requested that you do not share their contact information, consider letting your prospective employer know immediately when requested. When applying for a new job, your previous employer may request that you don't share their contact information.
The most common reason for refusing permission is confidentiality, which is often important in fields where you work for private employers, such as household management or full-time childcare. If your prospective employer does not specifically request contact information for your previous employer, you can simply omit it on applications and address the issue only if directly asked about it during an interview.
If your potential employer requested contact information, you can note where you omitted details at your previous employer's request. If you're applying in the same field, your prospective employer may view protecting your previous employer's privacy as a positive. By showing that your prior employer can trust you to not share private information from your last job, you also show that you will protect the privacy of your prospective employer if they hire you for the position.
If you are going to give out your current employer's contact information, consider speaking with a supervisor or the individual whose information you are providing before giving it to your potential new employer. This allows them to prepare for a call and provides them with advanced notice that you may leave if hired for this new position. Giving advanced notice can make it more likely that you maintain a positive professional relationship with your current employer. If you believe that your prospective employer is likely to contact your most recent employer, it is helpful to prepare them for the call.
This is more important when you are currently working for them and you have not yet told them you are seeking a new opportunity. If you have a good relationship with the individual whose contact information you are providing, you may be able to request special considerations when contacted. Let them know what the priorities for your potential position are, such as skills or traits the company is looking for, so that they can incorporate them into any review they provide.
Providing the correct point of contact ensures that your most recent employer feels respected in your job search process and makes it more likely that you will receive a positive referral. Or, if the application is asking for the employer name for a certain time period, put the name of the place where you worked during that time period. Because of this, job applications are typically split into sections that may look like those below:. Within the employment history section of a job application, most systems will ask you for information about your previous and current employers.
Just as when the phrase is used in a conversation, the name being asked for here is not the name of a person. For each period when you previously held a job, please include the employer name, address and phone number, your job title and responsibilities, how many hours you worked and the number of years you were employed. If your job titled and responsibilities changed while you were with one employer, create multiple entries under that employer name, as needed.
This is a dense example, as expected of the type of English used on a formal document like a job application. However, if you worked for XYZ Company and no longer work there or at that company, then you would not list them. An employer is a person, company, or organization that employs people—pays them for work. Employers provide employment.
Less commonly, employer can mean something that occupies someone or someone that uses something the word employ can also mean to use , as in Be a good employer of your time. Employer name means the name of the company you currently work for or where you were last employed.
