@Jessica Booker, I hope you are well.

I am currently applying for a vacation scheme at Forsters, in addition to the academic referee, they are also asking for an employment referee which I do not have. I am a contractor for the government and they are not allowed to give a reference. How do you think I should approach this situation?
Thank you in advance.
Do you have a previous employer you could use instead?
