So did you have some internal references called? If so I wouldn't worry about. Maybee that's all they needed. I had two buddies interview this month. One interviewed on the 4th the other guy on the 5th. Both had references called the week after the interview. I did know one guy that got hired without having any references called. Hope that helps you out.

Glowball did they give you any idea when you may start class?

Grady,

I have heard that some people get hired without any references called, but I would think that it is very rare. The group that I interviewed with didn't have any references called until 2 weeks after the interview (14 days exactly).

I was hired in this last DB, and I only had one reference called -- a buddy that wrote an internal recommendation for me. None of my letters of recommendation were called and nobody else off my application.

The wait is absolutely terrible, but getting the call makes it all worthwhile. Best of luck to you.
