no references

[joebloggs]

get a couple of references from the phils, from an old teacher, ex-employer, someone who can vouch for you.

just write something like this and email it to your family/friend, who can get the person who you wish to act as a reference to get them to print it on headed paper with their contact details (name, address, email address, telephone number) , ask them to sign it and send it back to you..



TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:


This is to certify that I have known (your name) for xx years, and found her to be honest, sincere reliable and hard working. She consistently display qualities of conscientiousness in her (studies or work) and responsibilities.

With these qualities i am pleased to endorse (your name)'s application. Any assistance extended to her would be highly appreciated.

yours sincerely


my misses had the same problem, she got a reference from the dean of the med school she went to in the phils and another from a businessman we know in the UK.

good luck

Pumpkins has raised a very here ... and MY wife and I had been wondering the SAME thing! But thanks to Joe's *response [*which, I must admit, hadn't occurred to me before ... but with which ] the way ahead is now clearer ... !

Most companies will not ask for a reference when u apply for a job... only when they offer it to you.
It is quite sufficient to put on your CV
"References available upon request".

In the case of Filipinas looking for their first job here, I echo Joe Blogg's comments.
Get a former employer (or colleague) in the Philippines to send u an e-mail, stating what u did,
your work record etc... and u can attach that when required.
Also, get someone here (friend, holy joe, doctor etc) to give u a CHARACTER reference.
Finally, try & do some Charity / Volunteer work ...... and again get a character/work reference
from them.

You're right, Marc ... up to a point! But, there again, MOST ask [at the outset] for the names, addresses and [often - but not always] telephone numbers of [usually] two persons to whom reference may be made. Generally, however, referees ARE only contacted once an appointment is offered.

It is quite sufficient to put on your CV
"References available upon request".

Again it's [usually] perfectly acceptable ... ... especially if an applicant is still undecided about the person(s) he/she wishes to nominate as referees, but wishes his/her form to arrive on the prospective employer's "desk" before the deadline date for receipt of applications.
