I recently started applying for a new administrative role and encountered a situation regarding references. I'm 22 and currently based in the UK. The application states that if I include my current employer as a reference, they won't be contacted until after an offer is made. However, I'm concerned about my previous jobs in hospitality affecting my chances. I'm worried that if they contact my current employer after an offer is given, it could lead to complications or even have my offer rescinded. I'm considering using my previous employer from my hospitality job and a university lecturer as my references instead. I'm seeking advice on whether this would be suitable for the role I'm applying for, especially since this is my first time dealing with references.
Job title: administrative role
