You may have given the interviewer a list of references; however, if you have not, be sure to bring a reference list to your interview. Provide the names of at least two people who can give you reliable work-related recommendations. If you do not have any work experience, you can also refer to professors, high-school teachers, a pastor, a mentor, or even the parent of a friend who may know you well and can provide a character reference. If you have volunteer work, you can point the hiring manager towards that experience as well. The interviewer wants to hear that your job references will positively describe you. Think about the nice things people have consistently said about your work ethic in the past.

"My references would describe me as accountable, and willing to take feedback. When I first started as a restaurant host, I had a lot to learn and truly wanted to make an impact on the guest experience and first impression. For that reason, I became a sponge when it came to gaining new hospitality skills and improving my knowledge of the restaurant industry. I ask questions if I do not know the answer, or I will take the time to research and find an answer myself. Also, if I make a mistake, I own up to it and learn from the situation."
