      1st Answer Example

      "A bit about me - I love to travel, read, and conduct research. I am a recent grad from Columbia University and have spent the past 12 months traveling the world. It was the best experience that I could have given myself as I was able to learn so much from seeing how the rest of the world lives. I returned to the US just last month and had been actively looking for work the past couple of weeks. I am looking forward to getting into the routine of a career again here at UnitedHealth Group."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I graduated with a degree in communications and through an internship, decided that marketing was my path. My first job was with a baseball team, handling promotions and everything in between! I wanted to work in an industry that was helping people, so I took the coordinator position that I have now at a local hospital. I've been able to do so many cool things, including helping patients see what services we offer and learning the industry. Now, I'm ready to see a different side here in the medical insurance industry at UnitedHealth Group. I also love to run and spend time volunteering with a non-profit helping them with their marketing efforts."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      You offer a nice, high-level overview. If time allows, I encourage you to research the Past/Present/Future approach when answering this question. That type of framework will help you to create a more robust answer and offer a fuller view to the interviewer with some career-related detail.
