I am currently in the process with three agencies. Though no one here can vouch for me, I think I'm a good candidate. Bachelor and masters degree, good physical shape and in good health, no criminal background, good credit, solid references, good work history, etc. However, I am also coincidentally in a crappy situation at work. I have had three bosses in my current job, and I do not see eye to eye with my current boss. The issues aren't issues of misconduct, but are about philosophy of the business and leadership style. My current boss applied for his current job and did not get it two bosses ago, only to be promoted into it a while later. We purposely didn't hire him the first time. Seems politics came back to bite me in the butt.
The situation is bad. His reference is my biggest concern. I do have good work experience and good references from past bosses (same employer). Should I:
a) Try to stick with it and hope that his reference doesn't kill me.
b) Take the honorable route and quit on good terms and ask him to give me a fair reference. I would still be able to work with the employer in a part-time capacity in a different department.
Looking for a job in LE doesn't seem to be favorable when I'm not employed full-time. It must be a red flag. However, there's no way of getting around him not finding out, since I know he will be talked to during the BI.
