When an interviewer asks an open-ended question like this, it can be difficult to know where to begin...and end! This question haunts many individuals who may accidentally go a little too in-depth into their personal lives. It happens. Keep your reply light, and work relevant. Share how you became interested in this career path and what you enjoy about it. This is an excellent opportunity to describe yourself by discussing the strengths and qualities that you bring.

"I am a reliable and detail-oriented person and am very committed to the work I do. I take pride in a job well done and have always held myself to a very high standard. I graduated with my degree in Dental Hygiene with a 4.0 GPA and I am always looking for ways to improve and gain more knowledge. I am also good at building relationships, and I enjoy the opportunity to ease patients' anxiety and help them feel comfortable while at the dentist. I'm looking forward to a new chapter of learning and contributing to the team environment at this practice. Outside of work, I enjoy biking and cooking with my family and traveling whenever we have the chance."
