If your interviewer asks an open-ended question like this during your interview, 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 relevant to the job. Share how you became interested in this career path and what you enjoy about it. This is a great opportunity to describe yourself by discussing the strengths and qualities that you bring to the overall educational experience as the Distance Learning Specialist.

"I am a nurturing individual and like to mentor those that I work with, in unique ways. And I'm driven. I would introduce myself as a subject matter expert on all things in the virtual learning environment, from using simple video conferencing apps to authoring virtual learning modules for students. I would let everyone know that my goal is to be a resource for them in their virtual learning journey and that I always have a virtual open-door policy for them to reach out to me at any time."
