Hello Pipis Husband,Pipis Husband said:cjg1987 is quite right, self attested references are not acceptable. You must have read wrong that it worked for others, it only leads to returned application. I find it hard to believe that none of your supervisors or senior colleagues is willing to assist you with the reference, even on plain paper. Surely you must have good work relationships with some of them? I advise that you try again as without it, your application is dead in the water. All the best.
Unfortunate, but the truth is that there is no one who is willing to assist me on this point in my previous organisation, for the one before that I dont have any one to assist me since all my colleagues have either left or the once which are left are/were not my supervisors, rather they all are at junior levels which is making me more difficult to get this done.
I dont know how rite that will be, but I have arranged for some letter heads of my previous organisation, I can type out the reference letter myself and put one of my colleagues name/number on it. But i dont know what will happen if they call them for a reference check. I am not writing anything wrong or fake but just that bcos the company policy doesent allow me to get anything on a letterhead it is becoming a problem.
What are you telling about plain paper...will the reference letter on a plain paper work? if so then what all additional document would be required along with it
