We need a reference from your former employer before we can give you a definite job offer.

我们需要一份你以前的雇主提供的证明，不然我们无法确定是否给你这份工作。

You hear from your references that the employer has called them. Reference-checking is time-consuming so I dont start it unless im interested in a candidate.

从你的推荐人那里听说雇主曾给他们打过电话。向推荐人核实情况十分费时，所以如果我对一位面试者不感兴趣是不会去做的。
