      Answer Example

      "My name is Al, and my parents were both insurance agents. I grew up in that environment and followed in their footsteps. I'm originally from Castle Rock, Maine. I attended Fordham University and graduated with a bachelor's in business management. From there, I landed a position with XYZ agency, where for five years, I worked hard to achieve many of my career goals. At this point, I feel as if the opportunities within the company are too few, and I am anxious to advance my career, so I've decided to explore opportunities elsewhere. So here I am."
