Interviewers often ask this as the first question to break the ice and see what direction the interview will take. How you respond can lead the interviewer down a specific path of questions, or they may eliminate some questions if you answer them in your introduction. Give a brief synopsis of yourself related to your profession, starting with why you decided to pursue this career, where you are currently working or where you recently graduated from, and where you see yourself in the future.

"Five years ago, I was working as an EMT and looking for a career change. I wanted to stay in healthcare but was looking into other options. I had a call at a group home and saw a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist working with a group of kids and decided that was what I wanted to do. Four years later, I became certified and have been working in that same group home. I am applying to your organization because the group home lost funding, and the home will be closing in a month. I am excited to be interviewing with your organization because it seems like the same environment as the group home, which I loved."
