Even though they can get a high level overview of our education by looking at your application materials, your interviewer wants you to discuss the educational path you have taken to get to this point in your career. This question is especially crucial for candidates that do not have a formal degree in HR, business administration or accounting. When answering this question, ensure that you put the interviewer at ease by reassuring them that you have the proper education for this role.

"I have my Bachelor's degree in business administration with a concentration in finance. As I worked for a time in finance, I got the opportunity to work part-time in staff compensation and really loved the work. While we did not have specific compensation courses in my Bachelor's program, I have taken additional courses outside of my degree to pursue this career path. For instance, I have a CCP certification. I feel that both my educational training and professional experience make me the best candidate to join your team as your next Compensation Manager."
