Maybe I can get a letter written by my new employer...even though, I'd feel awkward asking for something like that. I personally don't want to tell anyone about the whole JET thing. Maybe I could get the guts to ask my employer from my previous job to write me a reference letter. At least they've had real contact with me. I don't think asking an online teacher to write a letter would hold much weight. What do you guys think?
What types of people aren't allowed to be references?

Family members, as far as I know, can't be a reference.
And while it's technically allowed I think, I wouldn't ask a friend or classmate. They prefer someone with some authority, such as a teacher or employer, not a buddy.
