Be mindful of how much information, or how little, you've already provided. You want to offer context and breathe additional life into your professional history without being redundant. Take the advice of RSM's recruiters, and "review your resume and have it on hand during your interview." In an RSM Newsroom article, they state, "There is nothing worse than asking an applicant about information contained on their CV, only for them to stare blankly back at you. Know your CV inside-out and be able to talk about each aspect of your background and recent experiences. Try to anticipate questions an interviewer might ask you about information contained in your CV. This will help you present a well-considered response to almost inevitable questions."

You always want to be in the position of seeming prepared to answer the question posed while exuding confidence and communicating clearly. Enunciate your words, avoiding stutters or long pauses. Sounding too rehearsed likewise can make you sound wooden and boorish. Practice in front of your computer's camera, trying not to look at yourself on the screen; instead, maintain eye contact with the camera lens as if you're speaking face-to-face with a person, and keep at it until you are relaxed and seem natural.

"I'm sure you are familiar with my resume, where I went to college, and the degree I earned. Also, I am sure you read about my education in the business world through my experience of working with my uncle as a child. But I would say my education hasn't nearly reached its end. My real-world experience has taught me just as much, if not more, than my formal education. This was a real motivator for pursuing this position with RSM."
