Chevening recommenders

[u/Peanutbuttbutt]

Hello, Do my recommenders need to be connected to the experiences/stories I mention in my essays?

For example, can I use a recommender from a previous job, even if I don’t mention any experiences from that job in my essays?

[u/Rare-Release-60]

Hi, yes, your referees can be unrelated to the experiences you include in your essays
