How to follow up after applying for a job?

Is there any sort of protocol to follow in providing job references when applying for a promotion?

  • I've had my current job for about 6 months, and am applying for what is basically the same job, only with more consistent hours. I don't know if I should ask a co-worker to serve as a reference (seems kind of impolite, given that I'm not the only person they work with who'll be applying for this job), or provide the same references I gave when applying for my current position, or if I need to give references at all, given that the people doing the hiring already know and work with me.

  • Answer:

    It sounds like you are applying for an internal position. If that's the case, they should already have your references. Just ask HR if the current references are sufficient for someone applying for an internal job. And let them tell you what you need to do. Every company is different.

Don't list references unless they ask for them.
