Hi,
I'm currently in a dilemma whilst working on my personal statement for a Financial economics masters application, of choosing who to ask for a reference from work(placement).
My two options are my current line manager and a head economist.
Firstly, I've worked with my line manager for the past 10 months so he will relatively know me better and subsequently could write a lot of about myself.
However, the head economist, who I've worked with numerous times, obviously has a 'better' position and would look good on my application. Not only this but he has done a Phd in one of the schools I'm applying to.
What should come first? Position or relation?
