The interviewer wants to hear that your references will positively describe you. Think about the constructive things your references have said about you in the past. Be complimentary of yourself - now is not the time to be super humble.

If you have past performance reviews or letters of recommendation from your references, review them before your interview. You will be better prepared to answer the question if what they wrote is fresh in your mind. It is also good to have copies for the interviewer if they would like a copy for their file.

"I have an excellent list of references who will say that I am a hard worker who always brings a positive, compassionate attitude to the workplace. I have a strong work ethic and moral compass and seek opportunities to help others. I have three copies of performance reviews and letters of recommendation for your file if you would like them."

"I have two copies of letters of recommendation if you want them for your file. My references describe me as honest, dependable, energetic, and compassionate. They mentioned that I have not missed a day of work the entire time I worked for them and that I demonstrate strong leadership skills even when not working in a leadership position."
