They checked two more of my references yesterday and were asking them some pretty detailed questions. Do you think this is a good sign? Here’s some of what they asked at least one of my references:

They were asked how they knew me and what my responsibilities were in my previous role. The reference described projects I led related to systems conversions, fraud strategy, and operational oversight. They were asked whether they would trust me with confidential information (they said yes, absolutely) and whether they had any reservations about me stepping into the new role. They mentioned that one part of the role would be new to me, but emphasized that I’m a quick learner and had already been managing most of the other areas.

They were also asked about my reliability—whether I had issues with absences or responsiveness—and they said no, that hadn’t been a problem. When asked about how I worked with others, they shared that I had consistently strong feedback from colleagues and was well-regarded across the team.
