I have 2 part time jobs now and going for an interview for a dream job which is 'casual' (occasional hours)

Topics: dream job, full time, job, part time, reference
If I get the dream job, could I use the two jobs as a reference, even though I will give up one part time job for my dream job? This dream job has 'casual' hours leading to full time.
I'm wondering about the protical is for using references when you are potentially leaving one of the jobs.
I really hope I can get this dream job it is what I've always hoped I could be doing!
Thanks in advance for your help on this!

Do your current employers know that you are looking for a full time job? -
No...this will lead into a full time job, this is where it gets sticky...
what do you think MadameX
Oh one of the part time jobs is a term position that ends February 2nd... -

That is tough. If your current employers don't know you're thinking about leaving and get a call, that could go badly on both ends. You might be able to talk to someone at the one that's ending in February, since they know it's not long-term and you're going to be looking for something else eventually, but they'll probably be afraid that you're going to leave them stuck if you get an offer. This isn't an unusual situation and the people you're interviewing with will likely understand why you don't want them to contact your current employers, but then you'll have to come up with some other solid references. If that's going to be difficult, I'd suggest talking to the person that you have the best relationship wtih at the temp job. And remember that, while it's not as good as a supervisor, you can use colleagues for references...so perhaps there is someone you work with in one of these jobs who could be trusted to keep quiet and would give you a good reference?

It is tough isn't it? Both part time jobs together give me 33 hours. I could maybe swing all 3 jobs until Feb 2nd when the term job ends. Depending on how 'casual' the hours are at the dream job.
Thank you so much Madame X
