Ok, I'm scratching my head about this

[LaurieFairyCake]

Ive applied for a job and supplied two references.

My referees have been contacted (as one told me)

Ive then realised that the second reference ive provided could be more useful if I supplied a different person as reference.

So I emailed the organisation to say that I note they've contacted references and wonder if this 3rd reference would be more useful.

And ive had a response by email saying "references are not required at this time"

But they've definitely contacted my references

I think they mean "we don't require any more references now (as we already have two and are satisfies with them)".

"We do not need references at this stage" is the exact wording.

Im so confused

Wonder if it was just computer generated (the request) as the email is from a real person.
