Just go ahead and apply, you can have your app done in less time than it will take to figure out if your rehireable, then just check with the store you applied at in a few days.

Kind of off topic, yet similar issue. I'm applying for several jobs in the scuba industry, both as a Divemaster / Underwater Photography Instructor as well as Retail Scuba sales. The problem is people want references.
My previous DM quit soon after I left and I don't have his number anymore. My Region got dissolved, so the Regional Manager and all the corporate staff in my region got laid off, so basically everyone who knew how great an employee I was is no longer at Blockbuster. Also the store(s) I worked at no longer exist. So what phone number and address should I put for a contact? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I left my last job after being on workers comp for a year, getting a settlement, and moving to a different state, so I know my last job isn't going to say anything to a prospective employer. Hence Blockbuster would be the next rational place for an employer to call.

Just my suggestion...Blockbuster was on my references, I think it was number...4? 5? I dunno, somewhere at the bottom, not because it was "Bad" but just because I was like "Nobody cares if you worked at Blockbuster."

Ill get the HR number at work tomorrow, and post it. As far as job references or employment verification blockbuster uses a third party company that simply verifies how long you worked there, what you got paid, and if you left on good terms. Ill post that as well

I have a few buddies at Blockbuster who have since moved on, I have asked them to be the names listed on the references, If anyone calls me at the store for a job reference I give them the payroll number. The first option on the recorded message is for past work reference.

They don't verify if you left on good terms to outside parties. They use The Work Number. They will verify position title, dates of employment, and salary ONLY if you set it up to be verified. They wont verify why you left or if you are eligible for rehire because of the lawsuit potential. The HR Manager told us this once at a training, and in my experiences with other companies that use Work Number this is also the case.
