"Honesty is something that's really important to me, and I always approach every interaction with a customer, coworker, or manager with respect, an open mind, and an honest response. I think it's important to balance honesty and kindness and warmth. When I make mistakes, I do my best to admit to them and take ownership of them immediately -- I think that's an important element of being an honest, respectful worker."

"I consider honesty to be one of the most important traits to possess in my personal and professional life. You can rest assured that I will uphold Olive Garden's high standards, and maintain my record as a trustworthy team member."
