How can I avoid the job I'm applying for contacting my current supervisor as a reference, and instead...
I feel as if my current supervisor will unfortunately be an unfair reference, and will likely sabotage my job applications. This is due to our whole airline team being made redundant. (I was officially made redundant last month).
I have consistently gone above and beyond for my current airline, receiving multiple commendation awards from top management and bonuses.
As a result, I do not wish to use him (my direct supervisor) as a reference - but instead my manager who is based overseas - where the airline is based.
However I found out today that one of the interviewers may have direct contact with my previous supervisor, as they work out of the same airport terminal building.
How can I mention during the job interview / on my reference sheet, that the best person to get a fair reference from is my manager overseas, rather than the supervisor locally.
I am scared that they might come across each other and say 'Hey, did you know Debbie applied for the position of XXX recently?'
NB: This question differs from others asked due to the close proximity of the two working together.
Thanks for your help!
