What kinds of things do employers ask on a reference check?

I had an interview for a job i really want but they said they will be calling old/current employers. what kinds of things can they say about me? i tried to cover up some things and am worried. also can i be fired from job if some other place calls for a reference?

Normally they will ask to verify dates of employment, position you held with them, duties you performed, salary when you started and finished.

If you sign a release authorization to conduct a background check you have released former employers from liability to release truthful information about you and the work you performed for them. They can not lie, they can not release information that does not have to do with their job.

They usually ask things like
-dates of employment
-job title
-reason for leaving
-are they eligible for rehire
-attendance
-where they a good worker
-did they get along well with others
I wouldn't worry too much as most companies will only verify dates of employment and job titles to avoid being sued for slander (just remember its not slander if its true but they still usually refrain)

Most companies won't fire you if someone calls there for a reference, although at the same time most hiring companies won't call current employers without asking permission

Good Luck!
