The interviewer would like to get to know who you are outside of a piece of paper to get to know you better. This question is an opportunity to stand out as an applicant with a fun fact or personal trait that makes you memorable.

You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your kids or relationship status. Stick with a couple of 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 beat-boxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewer to ask you to perform your skill on the spot if possible (this will make you unforgettable!)

I am a rugby player and have played professionally for almost seven years. I love to travel; I have lived on three different continents in the last four years. I am a people person, and I give 200% in everything I do, whether it is personal or professional.
Rachelle's Feedback
This is a nice overview of your background, giving the interviewer good insight into your personal life and ethics. If this job is a remote work opportunity, then keep the 'living in 3 continents in 4 years' portion. However, if it's not a remote opportunity, just beware that this could be a red flag for the interviewer regarding tenure.
