Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

This ice breaker is designed to lower your guard and get you to open up. It also offers an opportunity to create a connection with one another. Once at ease, most people have less of a filter and might grant their interviewer unintended insights into their personality. The more open you are will help them determine how well you'll fit into their team.

Not only geographically but also in life. Share the basics of who you are, why you're here, where you come from, and where you're going. Volunteer your more interesting accomplishments or life experiences. Remain professional.

"I come from a little town called Hellen, Michigan. It's one of those little towns you work really hard to escape, and it comes with its fair share of jokes. Fun fact, they recently elected a house cat as their mayor... yeah. So as soon as I started touring colleges, I toured campuses out of state. I wanted to get off on a fresh start when I launched my career."
