    Im currently in the process of applying for jobs and I'm wondering about written references that are required. How many should I have, or from whom?... If I only had one would this disadvantage me? I currently only have one from my secondary school principal.

    Also some jobs say require inspectors reports (for the h. dip i presume?) as I am currently just finished college would my application be automatically disposed of if I do not have these included? Should I bother applying for these posts?

    Would really appreciate your help
    Thanks in advance
    Wivy :)

    Apply anyhow, you'd never know. Inspectors' report does mean someone who is probated, but give it a go, you might get subbing out of it if nothing else. In my time, you had a reference from a priest (for Catholic schools.)Would any of your tp principals know you and be happy to give you one?Have you worked say with summer camps or a a volunteer?What about a college lecturer?

    Best of luck.

    The inspectors reports in job ads are for probated teachers (who did their dip before 2010) only. You do not ever have to send TP reports from inspectors
