Hi All,The Stephenson Harwood TC application asks for 3 references, academic, work and personal references. For the first two, I think I'm fine.But I don't know what kind of relationship is best to ask for a personal reference. I don't think I want to ask a friend. And my colleagues at my part-time work were my friends before we started working there. Should I ask a colleague I not close with, or is there another relationship they're expecting when they say 'personal' reference?Any insight appreciated!
