Does anyone have any idea of how to see if you are getting bad or negative references from past Employers or persons who you have put as a reference for employment?

You will know if they are giving you a bad reference when they don't call you after the hiring interview (usually the second interview). If you suspect this, you should ask them pointblank if they put in a good word for you.

That is supposed to be confidential. Simply put, if you suspect you're getting bad references from certain employers, don't use them as references anymore. Your references should be hand-picked to only include the people who know will say good things about you.

Have a friend call and act like they are a potential employer.
If you are getting a bad refernce and it is not tangible or true contact a higher up in that company and let them know what is going on. Tell them you want a letter of recommendation and for them to refraim from slandering your good name. If that doesn't work, call a lawyer.
