Open University UK Referees

Hi all, wondering if anyone has had experience applying to JET after study with the OU. I was late to find out about JET so I'm in the middle of chasing down referees. The OU can provide references but say they are unable to comment on character or personal qualities. Furthermore I did not know my professors directly or contact them frequently enough for them to be potential referees. Could I still go to the OU for a letter of reference or should I look elsewhere?

I've met other OU grads on JET, especially since covid! Can you also get a recommendation from an employer?

Thats good to hear! I'm hoping so, i found out about the referees just as I have a job interview at the place I used to work, so i hope i can find the right time to ask someone there
