The interviewer would like to get to know more about you on a personal level. Give an overview of how you got into nursing, your education and experience, your current role, and what brings you to the interview with the NHS. Engage the interviewer by telling your story with enthusiasm! Consider sharing a skill you developed that will be useful for this position. It's okay to add in a hobby or personal interest, but avoid giving too many personal details (marital status, how many children you have, your religion, etc.), and keep your answer brief (no more than a couple of minutes).

"I started my career in healthcare as a nursing assistant and worked with elderly patients. I found that I was very passionate about taking care of others and decided to pursue my nursing degree. Earlier this year, I graduated with honours from X University and this would be my first professional position. On a more personal note, I love being outdoors hiking, kayaking, or taking my dogs to the dog park in town."

"I completed my nursing program in 2010 and worked in a pediatric office for about four years. I decided I wanted to work in a more fast-paced setting, so I then took a job at the local hospital in the NICU. I enjoy working in a hospital setting and caring for pediatric patients. I plan to pursue some speciality certifications this year as well to further my skills. Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and visiting national parks."
