"My three professional references are my two most recent employers and a professor. My references describe me as honest, dependable, energetic, hard-working, and compassionate. My professor described my inquisitive nature and willingness to mentor other students who needed assistance with their studies. My former employers mentioned that I had not missed a day of work the entire time I worked for them and that I demonstrated strong leadership skills even when not in a leadership position. All three references said I was a pleasure to be around, and they were happy to recommend me for whatever position I applied for."
