The interviewer would like to get to know more about you. Give an overview of how you got into nursing, your education and experience, your current role, and what brings you to the interview with Mayo Clinic. Engage the interviewer by telling your story with enthusiasm! Consider sharing a skill you developed that will be useful for this position. Avoid giving too many personal details (marital status, how many children you have, your religion, etc.), and keep your answer brief (no more than a couple of sentences).

"I started my career in healthcare as a certified nursing assistant and then progressed through the LPN program. I worked as an LPN for a few years before deciding to return to school to complete the RN program. Earlier this year, I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from X University. I have always been passionate about caring for others, and I'm an extrovert who enjoys working with the public. I love being outdoors and walking my two dogs."

"I completed my LPN program in 2010 and worked in a pediatric office for about four years. During that time, I completed my RN program and have been working at the local hospital in the NICU since then. I enjoy working in a hospital setting and caring for pediatric patients. Outside of work, I enjoy attending traveling and visiting national parks."
