Tell me about yourself.
"After graduating from college, I knew I wanted to work in sales or a similar role. I enjoy meeting new clients and developing business relationships to help both the client and my company meet their goals. Also, I am married with three children, and they motivate me to do my very best in all that I do. I'm excited for the potential to learn and grow with your organization."
When an interviewer asks an open-ended question like this, 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 work relevant. Share how you became interested in this career path and what you enjoy about it. This question is an excellent opportunity to describe yourself by discussing the strengths and qualities you bring that align with the company's needs.
"I have been an account manager since 2011 after graduating with my degree in business. I enjoy working with clients and the challenge that comes with working as an account manager. Outside of work, I enjoy training for triathlons. Getting outside and training helps me release stress and stay focused while at work."
