Employment reference check

Hi, I left the an employer on the best terms. However we agreed he will provide positive reference for any future application. Can someone help do a dummy reference check to see what he has to say about me? Busybee

Try going on Fiver. You pay someone to do something for only 5 dollars. You can have them call and say they are checking. Or get a friend to do it. Just need someone to sound professional and say they are calling to check. But, former employers aren't allowed to say a lot. Not legally. I was told they are only allowed to say yes or no to whether or not they would rehire you. If you want a good reference, get someone you know to write a letter of recommendation. This can be from someone like a preacher, business owner, former co-workers or former employers. Then you have the reference in your hand to show. Best of luck.
