Prospective employer contacting current employer
I've never quite understood this. When an application says "May we contact your current employer?"- what does this actually entail? I don't want to say "no" and that be a negative thing. I just don't know if they actually call my employer and what they may ask.
Basically I don't want my current employer to know I'm actively seeking other options.

Basically I don't want my current employer to know I'm actively seeking other options.
That is a very valid excuse, if they even question you on it. I'd be willing to bet that 90 percent of employed applicants would say the same thing.

I've actually never understood this question. Wouldn't it be pretty rare where somebody would be ok with it. I'm thinking of maybe a situation where someone knew they would be moving and had already put in their notice and the employer knew they were looking for another job. I'm really having a hard time thinking of another situation where it would be ok.
They're basically asking you if you mind if they announce it to your current employer that you're looking. If I were you I'd put no. They have to understand that
It's a tricky situation. Because at some point, if they want to make you an offer, they'll need to contact your current employer to see what your status is there. But you don't want them to contact your current employer at the beginning of the process.
I have at times contacted an HR department and clarified; are they going to contact my current employer now or later? Often they'll assure you that the only time they'll do so is if they're ready to make an offer. I have also heard of some people answering "only if offer is extended" on that part of an app.

If this is the case, I should've just left my original answer, "not at this time." They gave "yes, no and not at this time" for options. I don't mind if they call when I'm going to be accepting an offer, but like you said not at the beginning of the process.
This is so helpful (this has been bugging me for a loooong time), thank you ladies!
