Tell me about yourself.
We recommend primarily sticking with the professional basics and adding in a few fun facts along the way to show the interviewer that you are a real person too. Start off by telling the interviewer about your highest level of education. Give a very high-level overview of your past position stating your job title and what your standard job duties involved. Next, share 2-3 fun facts about yourself focusing on special non-work related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beatboxing or making origami swans. Be prepared for the interviewer to stop you and ask you to perform your skill on the spot when its possible! Finally, share with the interviewer why you are seeking a new position focusing on positives such as wanting to further your career or having an opportunity to work for this exciting company.

I've been a floral designer for about 10 years, six of which have been on my own. My day-to-day responsibilities include creating quotes and new recipes for clients, ordering products from wholesalers and suppliers, processing and hydrating fresh product, and floral design.
