Hi there. I have a weird problem. Some background first: Last summer I worked a seasonal position which ended in October. I've put one of my supervisors from that job on my reference list. I have been job searching since then, and he knows I'm looking for something permanent.
Today I received an unexpected phone call: an official job offer from my previous supervisors asking me to return for another 5 month period with potential for more. I hadn't applied or interviewed for this position. They seemed like they really need the help and they definitely liked having me on the team. I did enjoy that job and am considering it, but at the same time I am itching for something permanent and in an different area. I told them I have been interviewing at other positions, which they understood, and that I could get back to them in a few weeks.
Also today, after I got this phone call, I went into an interview for a job I am very interested in. At the very end of the interview, I gave the interviewer my list of references. I messed up a bit however, because that list includes my previous supervisor who is offering me a job! I get nervous with interviews so I didn't even think to say anything when he asked me if it was alright to call anyone on that list. Now I am unpacking my day and realizing I have no idea how I should handle this situation!
I'm thinking it would probably be unprofessional and, idk, disrespectful(?) to make my previous supervisor vouch for me to be hired somewhere else while also hoping I accept his job offer. Also I don't think he would sabotage me. At the same time, would it reflect bad on me to tell my interviewer that he can't contact a reference I gave him? Also this reference is my most recent and best reference but I guess that's not as important.
How should I handle this situation? I'm thinking of using my follow-up email with my interviewer to mention that I want to retract this reference. But should I explain that I have an offer on the table? Is that too aggressive?? Or am I okay to let things play out as they are? I'm relatively new to the whole job searching etiquette stuff so I'm not sure which way to go with this.
