Please could someone help, I'm having a complete nightmare with my referee section of my ucas application.
i am 30, haven't been in school for 14 years and have held the same job for ten years.
i don't want to ask my employee for a reference as I don't want them to know I am thinking of leaving so early on.
I have absolutely no one else who can give me a reference except for my partners sister who has known me for 9years and is also an English teacher. Could she be my referee?
she knows me very well although she has just moved out to dubai to teach, not sure if that is a problem?
I'm not sure how to fill out the referee section on the ucas form as it asks the referees occupation and how they know you. Of course she is an English teacher but she wasn't my English teacher so then I can only put a friend but the form says that you can't use a friend as a referee.
any advise would be greatly appreciated!
