So my "dream job" became available. This is huge guys, the last guy was on the job for 38 years. Not kidding, he's 74 and never had kids or was married. He was good at his job but it's time for him to retire. He and I had a good working relationship. I have a solid working relationship with the guys under him. Should this work out, i would be their "boss" but of course i would give them the utmost respect.
I can't say too much but here is the question. I have 3 very excellent references who are connected to the industry. I could likely get two more great references but they are our clients now so if it didn't work out they would know i was looking elsewhere and my current boss would find out. However, their references would be valuable towards the job i want. I want to go "all in" on this job but if it doesn't work out my boss will not be pleased. Hard situation, should I request their references? Are 3 references good enough or should i get a few more?
its the electrical distribution industry if it matters...
