The interviewer will generally ask this question at the beginning of an interview to break the ice and learn a bit about your personality and communication skills. Take a few minutes to tell the interviewer a few things about yourself. You can begin with your recent education, family life, 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.

"A bit about me - I love to travel, read, and conduct research. I am a recent grad from Columbia University and have traveled the world for the past 12 months. It was the best experience that I could have given myself, as I learned so much from seeing how the rest of the world lives. I returned to the US just 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."

"I am an avid marathon runner and have traveled to 10 countries in the last eight years to compete in various races. I am a competitive individual and enjoy keeping fit. As a new healthcare professional, my biggest goal is to get hired by your organization to gain experience and take as many healthcare-related courses and workshops as possible. I am eager to get a great start on my career with Mount Sinai Hospital."

I am dedicated, friendly and able to grasp new concepts efficiently. With six years of experience in retail, I have gone through every rank starting from cashier to where I am now. My role as a pharmacy manager and love for solo travel have given me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone. I'm currently hoping to transition into a hospital setting to achieve my goal of becoming a board-certified pharmacist.
