I'm looking for a part time job. I am currently working part time and plan to keep that job too. I have been at my current job for a year and a half. Prior to this, I worked 3 years for a company which manages rental properties. I was a groundskeeper/manintenence person.

I had 4 different supervisors during that time. Two are no longer with the company. One is demoted. One is working at a different property,but is still a manager. My last boss was one of the two who were fired. She was sexually harassing the guys and the girls, believe it or not. This woman was truly a freak, way out of line. I reported her to the corporate office because of inappropriate comments she made to me/ her trying to make the employees look at porno pictures of herself that she had on the internet at work. She wasn't fired as a direct result of my reporting it, but they started an investigation which led to her being fired.

The company has contacted me twice since I left with employment offers. Both times the person who called me was the former boss who now works at a different property. I don't want to work for the company again, and I turned them down. They didn't pay enough, but we left on good terms. The territory manager, from the corporate office, told me that anytime I wanted a job, just call them.

I need to put someone down as a reference from this company on my resume. Should I list the new property manager, who wasn't hired yet when I worked there? That doesn't seem right to me. Should I list the former boss who called me or the territory manger who I spoke to? The only reason the former boss called was because the territory manager told her to; she didn't really like me when I worked with her.

I gave two weeks notice. However, during the two weeks, I was only working half the hours I used to work because I had started my new job. I spoke to the territory manager about this and she said that was totally fine. I offered to work the full hours I usually did, but she said it was OK. They move the maintenance employees around from property to property, and there were actually people who didn't have enough to do right then, so she said it actually worked out perfectly. I don't want them to say I didn't give 2 weeks notice just because it was half days, as I arranged this ahead of time and was told that half days were all that was needed. Does that make a difference?

Sorry it's so long.
Thanks for your help.

The two weeks notice should not be a problem. Hours were discussed and agreed upon. You could list any or all of the previous bosses. Just do not give their number. Note that the reason for not providing the number will be discussed in person. When you interview, tell the story. They are looking for your skills and knowledge. Sell that.
