[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 41237, member: 2672"] There isn’t necessarily a consequence of it being informal. The firm/reference company will either contact you and badger you for some kind of detail until they are satisfied or make a decision that the reference is not needed given the strength of your other references. I have recently had to go through this process for a new client I am working with and one of my references refused to acknowledge I existed, despite me working for them for 9 months and them paying me! In the end I had to show evidence in the form of emails between me and the company that confirmed the job and money that had gone into my bank account. There are typically some paper trails that you can use as evidence. But I very much doubt they will be that concerned a weeks work experience here and there if you have more substantial references. Even for informal placements, I suspect your family members who arranged it have a paper trail at their end (as they probably had to get approval to bring you in). [/QUOTE]
