Finally Got a Job Offer Worried About References…

I finally got a job offer with F500 after being out of work for an embarrassingly long time. It seems like a great job and could be a great opportunity where I will make the most money I’ve ever made but I’m worried about getting the offer rescinded due to giving references who said I can use them as a reference but that was 5-10 years ago. I’m worried they won’t remember me which would seem like a massive red flag for a hiring manager.

I left out one of there phone numbers also since I could find it and substituted it with a link to their LinkedIn and email.

I want to think I’m overthinking but am worried a reference getting called and saying; “I’m sorry who?” will land me back into job hunting purgatory….

I guess just prepare for anything and use it as painful lesson since there’s nothing I can do now if that does happen.
