Ronda Barnes is an HR professional with over 10 years of experience in career development and strategic staffing. She has a masterâ€™s degree in Human Resource Development and a graduate certificate in Online Learning and Teaching.

"I have worked in a management role since graduating with my degree in business. Outside of work, I enjoy training for triathlons. Getting outside and training helps me release stress and stay focused while at work. I am married with three children, and they motivate me to do my very best in all that I do. I'm excited for the potential to learn and grow with your organization and maintain the community for people and families like my own."

Ronda Barnes

When an interviewer asks an open-ended question like this, it can be difficult to know where to begin...and end! This question haunts many individuals who may accidentally go a little too in-depth into their personal lives. It happens. Keep your reply light, and work relevant. Share how you became interested in this career and what you enjoy about it. This question is an excellent opportunity to describe yourself by discussing the strengths and qualities you bring that align with the company's needs.

Ronda Barnes

"I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at UCLA, and upon graduation, I worked as an Office Manager where I was responsible for filing, reviewing documents, and data entry. Since this role, I have gained considerable business operations experience at XYZ, where I managed employees and a budget. These are some of the reasons I believe I am a perfect fit for your position."
