    Re: Application References

    It has to be someone who has known you for at least 5 years. And is a professional, i.e. Policeman, teacher, judge, lawyer. Surely you must know someone like this. But remember it can't be a relative.

    I asked my friends Mum who is a Nurse. Maybe ask you're friends parents if you know them, and they have a professional job?

    Didn't you go to school? If you did, I bet there were some teachers there, maybe try one of them?

    I used my next door neighbour, she is a nurse and we have lived at the address for 19 years. Good luck finding a reference!
