Even though the interviewer has your resume or CV, they want to ensure you have the required training for the position. Walk the interviewer through your formal post-secondary education and any on-the-job training. Talk about your most positive takeaways from your post-secondary experience, and be sure to tie in how that experience will help you succeed in this position.
