Kevin Downey · Answer

Many interviews begin with this question, or some iteration of it, such as, "Tell me about your career journey," "Talk to me about your career," or "Walk me through your professional background." It is open-ended for a reason, designed as an icebreaker to launch the interview. It's the job of a hiring manager to get to know you better. They also need each candidate to be relaxed, otherwise they may not present their best self. The last thing a recruiter wants is to not identify their target talent and miss out on an opportunity to hire an ideal employee. How you answer will also stand to inform them of how strong a communicator you are, and may provide other insights worth following up on later in your interview.

Kevin Downey · Answer

Avoid providing too much personal information, or focusing on factors unrelated to your career. Adding a splash of personal information is fine, but your primary focus should be on your professional profile. So, keep your answer as work-related as possible.

Kevin Downey · Answer

Give your interviewer a glimpse into your character and who you are as it relates to your career journey and the job opportunity. Know your audience. Your interviewer is a representative of their company, and it is incumbent on them to continue to build upon and foster the culture of their teams. So go into your interview with a clear picture of why you are a strong fit, and what you would contribute to their culture, proving you could be trusted to represent their company. Also, learn what you can about your interviewer if you are able. Visit their LinkedIn page, and see if their career journey is in any way similar to your own. The better a fit you seem, the stronger a candidate you'll be.

"I've always been that person that after a few minutes of talking to someone, they start opening up to me, oversharing, and telling me their life story and all their personal struggles. I suppose it is because I am validating, extremely empathetic, always show a genuine interest in them, and am a strong listener. So, when I was deciding on a degree to pursue in college, my mother pointed out that I was already taking several sociology and psychology courses and that I should pursue psychology as a degree. So I did. I am certified as a family therapy counselor and am currently pursuing my master's in psychology. After reading everything about your clinic, the clinic's values, and the requirements of the job, this seemed like the fit and opportunity I've been looking for. Thank you so much for meeting with me."

"I am thrilled to have had the privilege to raise my children for many years. Although being a stay-at-home parent took me out of the traditional workforce, I kept myself busy and relevant in many ways. Currently, I volunteer at my church and am finishing my bachelor's degree in management. As my kids get older and more independent, I seek a career to apply my sharpened business skills. I am ready to step into the next phase of my career and would be happy to apply these skills to your company."
