[QUOTE="Afraz Akhtar, post: 232783, member: 43563"] Hi [USER=43062]@Hopeful applicant[/USER] it’s usually advised to have one academic and one professional reference (just so they can see both sides of your character). However, it’s not the end of the world if you can’t provide on. In fact, some people may not have had any prior employment, or an experience strong enough to generate a reference. If you’re in the same boat, for now, I’d include another reference - for the sake of the application. As for when it comes down to contacting your referees (they usually get in touch with you first) at that stage you can change it or explain that you don’t have an employment contact for referencing and have opted to use another academic one.
