This is a typical question posed at the beginning of an interview to get a candidate to relax. One of the primary goals of the interviewer is to get to know you so they can get a better feel for how well you would fit into their company and their teams in this role. So, anytime in an interview where you step outside of interview mode, it is important not to become too informal or familiar. Yes, be yourself, but continue to present yourself as a professional. Frito Lay advises all their candidates to "know what type of colleague you'd like to be to others. There's not a one-size-fits-all approach to working with others. Be prepared to flex your style as needed. And, above all else, follow through on your commitments. In sum, it's about the Golden Rule - treat others as you'd like to be treated no matter what comes your way. It's that simple."

"I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Communications and Marketing from UBC in 2009. Since then, I have been actively making my way to a leadership role in social media marketing within the hotel and hospitality industry. I am energetic, positive, and ready to make a difference in a growing organization. I have been looking for the right fit to explore the next stages of my career fit, and based on everything I learned about the culture here, how happy the employees are, and the great things they have to say about what a great place it is to work, I think I finally found the company I want to invest the next chapter of my future with."

This is your first impression. Take advantage of the opportunity it presents for you to set the stage as a professional and as an ideal candidate. Think about how you want to present yourself and compose a short bio on your professional journey. Share who you are as a person and as a professional, where you have come from in your career, why you are at this crossroads, and where you hope this next chapter will take you. Share what you find exciting about this position and what you believe you have to offer. Then, if the opportunity presents itself, ask the interviewer about themself. How long they've been with the company, and what it's like to work there.
