Interviewers often ask this question as an icebreaker at the beginning of an interview. Sometimes, the question can throw off candidates because they don't know where to begin. But this question isn't meant to be difficult. Instead, the interviewer is letting you set the mood.

Before your interview, prepare a two or three-sentence biography that discusses your educational and professional history. Give a short overview of your skills or personality and a brief explanation of why you want this job.

"I graduated from the automotive program of my county's trade school two years ago. After that, I worked in a local mechanic shop as an automotive service technician. I enjoy the work, but I'd like to interact more with customers. I enjoy sharing my expertise and helping others solve their car problems. I know AutoZone is looking for knowledgeable and dedicated sales associates, and I think I would be a good fit."

"After graduating with my bachelor's degree in finance, I started working for my current company. I've worked there in the same position for five years, but it's a small company, and there is no room for upward movement. I'm looking for an employer who will support and train me to advance my career, and I think AutoZone is the right company for me."
