QUESTION 1 OF 30

Tell me about yourself. Where are you from?

This ice breaker is designed to lower your guard and get you to open up and create a connection. Once at ease, a person might grant their interviewer unintended insights into their personality. The more open you are assists them in determining how well you'll fit into their team.

You can use this opportunity to highlight where you come from, 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 Northport, NY. It's one of those little towns that's pulled straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. Fun fact, the neighborhood bar was a favorite haunt of Jack Kerouac. Also, Maria Carey was from there as well. So, as soon as I started touring colleges, I toured campuses out of state. I wanted a fresh start when I launched my career."
