mts12 Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hello Everyone I was hoping to get some advice.. One of the referee that was supposed to write me a letter can not be contacted for the past month and thus am actively looking for another one but have no idea how suitable they may be: 1) Host family that I have lived with for 3 years when I was an international student, who know me well and who I still keep in contact with. The wife actually was a substitute teacher that taught me when I was young. 2) A volunteer place that I am starting tomorrow for 12 hours/month... what do you guys think? I know neither are that great but which one should I opt for? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wifflball Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Ideally I would say neither; definitely not the host family. Think of someone who has known you for at least one year and can speak to certain aspects of your character your other referees can not. If there is truly no one else, I would ask your supervisor for your volunteer placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robclem21 Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Ya. Those are both not suitable options. I would think harder for another option. You should know more than 5 people over the course of your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
