How do they think they found me in the first place? Jesus was a star last week. Now he's tending bar on Melrose. Welcome to Hollywood.

In general you get a list of things that you were potentially concerned about based on what you saw in the interview. If the references confirm your worries, then that's it. If the references comfort you on the issues that you have, then they get one step further in the process.
