If you carefully planned your career or knew where you were headed early on, be sure to advertise that. Be clear in your communication when detailing this. If you weren't sure where you wanted to take your career, be sure to detail how you chose your degree, and how you ultimately landed in this career. If you always wanted to work in a particular environment that was aligned with the career you choose, offer how you came to this realization.
