[QUOTE="Naomi, post: 5271, member: 822"] From my experience, if they're your personal tutor/course director etc. then they will have experience with providing references for candidates so this shouldn't be a problem. When deciding who to pick, go with someone who knows you well enough, and hopefully understands your career aspirations - that way they can provide a more specific/beneficial reference I think. I would just send them a quick email or call and explain what stage you're at, that providing references is part of the recruitment process and if they wouldn't mind providing a reference if asked. Most firms ask for two referees as far as I've seen and often one can be a character reference, so might be good to pick a close family friend! [/QUOTE]
