  • 7. Tell me something about yourself that I wouldn't know from reading your resume.

      How to Answer

      The interviewer would like to get to know you apart from what is written on your resume. You are certainly not obligated to discuss personal matters such as your kids, or relationship status, for instance. Stick with a couple of fun facts to show the interviewer that you are a real person, too. Your answer should be unique so that you are a memorable candidate!



      Focus on special non-work related skills or hobbies. For example, you might share that you enjoy beat-boxing 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! (This will make you unforgettable!)

      "I love cooking. My husband and I own a restaurant together, which shows that we are passionate about what we like."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      The interviewer may ask more about your involvement in the restaurant, to ensure it wouldn't interfere from your teaching role. Other than being prepared for that type of response from the interviewer, this answer shows an interesting side of you!
