If you could be a subject matter expert in any subject, which would you choose?
Talk to the interviewer about the topics that pique your interest most. If you could immerse yourself in a particular subject, what would it be and why? You can make your answer a bit lighthearted and personal if you wish.
"Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated with mechanics and design. I would build models of airplanes and cars in my room for hours. I still have a very keen interest in design, so I would say that if I could be a subject matter expert on any topic, I would choose mechanical engineering."
"That's a great question! In my spare time, I like to read about socioeconomics. I would love to be a subject matter expert in how race and social standing directly impact career choice variables. It's all very fascinating to me."

I would definitely choose entrepreneurship. My biggest dream is to start my own business and empower other people to do the same. It goes hand-in-hand with my passion for motivational speaking. I look up to people like Liu Qiangdong and Mike Wright. These people took something small and turned it into something greater than them, and that is what I want to do that. The founder of English First was an entrepreneur, and look where it is now.

Your excitement for entrepreneurship really shines through, which can be great, but it can also work against you depending on the job title you wish to secure. (Is EF a franchise?) Consider asking yourself - would this answer make the interviewer feel like this role is just a stepping stone for you as you make plans to open your own business?
