Besides the fact that you have the experience and the education to support this career, give an example about what made you choose this line of work. Take this time to explain to the interviewer what events, schooling, and experiences you've had that made you want to pursue this career. Feel free to tell a story about why you chose this line of work but be sure to keep it short and not too detailed.
