The interviewer is looking for an overview of your background. Because this question is so open ended, it can be easy to run away with your answer and even put your foot in your mouth. Offer a less than 5 minute brief of your related education or training, and then touch on the last 5-10 years of your career, depending on how far along you are in your professional career. You can discuss your volunteer experience and don't forget to talk about any extraordinary skills you may have.

"I would be happy to give you a brief overview of my background! After graduating with my Diploma in Hospitality, I went to work for my family's retail business as a floor manager. After a year, I realized that although working for the family may sound nice, it's best to keep business and family separate. I was not earning what I wanted to earn, and it's hard to ask family for a raise. So, I am now looking for a management role within a larger organization where I can grow, and earn my way into promotions while developing myself professionally."

"My hospitality career goes back a few years. My first dive into a service role was overseeing a team of floor sales representatives, five in total. This year I was promoted and moved to a district management role, which is where I am today. Here, I manage a team of twelve plus three temporary staff who often rotate. Before my hospitality management career began, I was working in a retail environment and attending post-secondary at the same time. My degree is in Business, with a focus on organizational management."
