You have likely given the interviewer a list of references already; however, if you have not, be sure to bring a list with you to your interview. You should provide the names of at least two people who can give you recommendations, preferably individuals to whom you have reported. 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 done volunteer work, you can use that experience as a reference as well.
Some ways that your references may describe you:
- High-integrity
- Accountable
- Reliable
- Punctual
- Able to accept feedback
- Confident
- Well-educated
- Honest
- Results-driven

Because my list of previous jobs is varied you may get a different answer from each reference. I do believe however that they would all agree that I am dependable, curious, and honest.

Ok, good start. You may want to explain a bit more about the variation in your prior jobs. Are you saying the skills your references will discuss are different because the jobs are different?
Prepare for practical scenarios and safety questions that electrical contractors expect.
