Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.
Take a few minutes to tell the interviewer a few things about yourself that aren't on your resume or cover letter. Try to introduce something uncommonly interesting about yourself that will make you memorable when your interviewer is choosing between the candidates they've interviewed. Exhibit passion and enthusiasm, and try to be charismatic. You can begin with your recent education, volunteer work, or talk about your travels. Bring up anything that is interesting and highlights your ability to be a responsible, reliable, and bright individual.

"I love to travel, read, and conduct research. I am a recent grad from Columbia University and have spent the past 12 months traveling the world. It was the best experience I could have given myself; I learned so much from seeing how the rest of the world lives. I returned to the US last month and have been actively looking for work for the past couple of weeks. I am looking forward to getting into the routine of a career again."

"With pleasure! I have over ten years of experience in the utility industry and am interested in growing my career to the next level. On a more personal note, I love to read, go hiking, and spend a lot of my extra time volunteering with the humane society."

Outside of work, I like to golf, I love plants (I have about 30 house plants) and I like to hike around the foothills where I live. I have 3 cats and one dog, and I adore them all.

Awesome! These are all interesting personal tidbits that will help you stand out to the interviewer. If you can connect anything personal about yourself to the qualities that the interviewer is looking for in this role, don't hesitate to include this as well. It's always best to bring your answers back to how you are the best candidate to fill the role. (For example, you're a nurturer by nature which is apparent in how you take care of so many plants and animals. If this is something the role needs - someone who likes to take care of others and who nurtures relationships - make sure to point out this connection to the interviewer.)

I attended a trade school in 2017 with a major in electrical technology. I have worked in the commercial, industrial, residential, and maintenance side of the trade where I have acquired a great set of skills. On a personal note, I enjoy riding my motorcycle, hanging out with friends, and camping.
