Hi Rich

You need to compile the ref yourself, but it must be on company letter headed paper and signed by a manager of yours. The reason for this is apperently they ( DIMIA ) can do random checks, where your manager ( employer ) could be contacted, just to verify the reference is above board, but it is very rarely this happens.
Do you have a close working relationship with your boss, or a supervisor ????? who can sign this ref for you ....

Hope this helps

Hi

I think some people have told there employer a little white lie to get them to sign the reference, ie. need a reference to join an organisation or to enrol on a course or something, I did read some good examples but can't remember try doing a search on Employer references.

At the top of the reference put To Whom It May concern and they won't know whio it is going to.

Hope this helps.
