Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn't know from reading your resume.

You are not obligated to discuss personal matters, such as your kids or relationship status. Stick with a few fun facts to show the interviewer that you are a real person with varied interests outside of work. Focus on non-work-related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beatboxing or making origami swans. Sharing a unique fact about yourself will make you unforgettable as an applicant!

"I am an animal lover and have two dogs and a cat. I volunteer at our local animal shelter and foster pets transitioning to finding their forever homes. "

"I currently run a meetup group in our city for ultimate frisbee! I have met many new friends this way and encourage my team to participate when they can. Healthy competition is great for team building, too."

"I am an avid marathon runner and have traveled to 10 countries in the last eight years to compete in several races. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit."
