This is an opportunity for the candidate to not only explain what they love about being a meteorologist, but how they got to where they are today. This is a chance for the candidate to give the potential employer a sense of who they are as a person, and they are free to inject stories about their childhood or life that makes them seem personable, interesting, and a great addition to the team. A meteorologist must also have great communication skills with others in addition to understanding the science, so a good response to this question would be giving anecdotes of experiences with weather in the past and how it inspired the candidate to continue studying meteorology. While this type of question elicits
the candidate to give a personal story unique to each individual, good responses would also include one's passion for a certain type of weather event (ex: snow, tornadoes, hurricanes), one's determination to keep the public safe during severe weather events, and one's interest in watching climate change over time.
