      Focus Your Answer On

      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.

      What to Avoid

      Avoid saying your references would say positive things about you if you know they would not. The interviewer will call your contacts and hear for themself what they think of you. If you had an issue with one of your references, you should explain to the interviewer what the problem was.

      Experienced Example

      "I have an excellent list of references who will say that I am a hard worker who always brings a positive attitude to the workplace. I learn new concepts quickly and seek out opportunities to help others. I have three copies of performance reviews and letters of recommendation for your file if you would like them."
