I have an old boss that is giving me bad references. I quit there with no notice, and that started a dispute between them and me that elevated and got the gov. involved. Now I am looking for a second job again, and he is giving me bad references. Can I leave That job off applications? It will not leave a gap in employment history. If I leave it off is there a database for job history on someone. Or is there a do not hire database. I checked my credit report and there was nothing about job on there. If I leave this employer off future applications how will anyone know?

There is no database. If you leave the job off your application, then you will need to provide an explanation for the gap in your resume. If you want to use the job on your history, you can use the HR person or a colleague, not your old boss, as the contact person. All they need to do is provide a verification of your employment dates, not provide any personal opinion. Just stop providing your boss on your reference list and the prospective employers should not need to call him at all.

If you must put include this employer, simply ask the new prospective employer not to contact this one and tell the new one you are willing to discuss this matter in your job interview.
