Is it common practice to check someone's references before or after an interview? And if a company wants two references, is it acceptable to offer two from different managers at the same company?

as for before/after it depends. they have to wait for people to write them and reply.
not usually.
Oh that's easier then. I was gonna ask my boss to do me one before I started applying. Obviously I guess it's still a good idea to let him know he may be asked for one soon though? I'm sure I've heard him giving a reference over the phone though, about my best friend ironically.
:yes: tbh i'd say thats better than 2 from 2 different managers at the same co.
