Yes k had my interview wed of first week and my Ex boss and current boss got asked for references For me on the Saturday. There's plenty of time though if u only had interview last week. Plus your referees might not tell you they've has reference letters. So don't worry. :-)

Hope so, both my referees said will let me know if they hear anything, spoke to 1 of them today and received nothing as of yet... If yours were contacted so quickly after interview do you think that I've been unsuccessful? My friend had hers on a Thursday and her ex boss got reference form on the following Monday....
