I am at the end of my PhD and searching for my next professional opportunity.
I recently had a job interview for a research engineer position. I had two different interviews: 1. with the scientific/technical managers 2. with the HR manager. Both went very well and according to the latest news I have from them I am their top candidate (under the condition of internal validation of the company) and they said I just need to wait for their final answer. And here is where the problem rises. The scientific/technical didn't ask for any recommendations from my PhD supervisors and HR manager simply asked for a reference and I naively gave the name and email address of my supervisors considering that they would give a positive feedback! but apparently they still they respond to the email of the HR manager and I feel they are not going to answer (I just found out by asking her). So my question is : would it be OK if I tell the HR manager that I would provide her with another reference, for instance saying that my supervisors are not happy that I am looking for a job when I have to concentrate on preparing my defense (sounds like a lame excuse but I can't come up with something more plausible), or is it not a good idea at all?
Moreover, what if my supervisors don't respond at all? What would the company do? Would they ask me for new reference or they flat out go on with their next candidate?
I am desperately looking for tips on this issue.
Sorry for long post
Cheers
