What would you do?

I received a job offer last Friday & said I would accept. The manager who rang me to make the offer said the offer was subjected to references which is standard. She also said she'll send through a confirmation email.

Later that day she emailed saying she was pleased to offer me the role but also had difficulty getting through to one of my references. I gave an alternative contact detail for both references i had initially given plus gave a 3rd reference in case they needed it.

Now its Wednesday & i haven't heard any progression.... on one hand if there was a problem with my references maybe something would have been said, i would hope anyway or if the offer was retracted (there wouldn't be a reason why that i can see if the offer was retracted)

Should I email to try & find a follow up? Haven't heard anything regarding a start date. Or maybe wait to the end of the week 1st. Possible they got all details they need but paperwork just going through HR or something.

You could send a follow up email just asking if the second lot of contact details you sent were successful and whether they need any more information from you...

@GLITTER I was just about to say the same thing. Ask if they had everything that they needed now.
