What will employers ask your references?

Here are the top five questions
an employer may ask:
  1. Would you rehire this candidate?
  2. What was the candidate's reason for leaving the position?
  3. What were the responsibilities of the position the candidate had while working at your company?
  4. Is this person a team player or does he or she excel by working alone?
  5. Was the candidate on time and dependable?
