How to Answer

Good news! There is no clear formula for the best way to answer this question. However, there are some topics that could be more beneficial to share than others. Talking about your entire work history isn't the best choice, but you could talk about a few highlights that led you to this career. It's also not great to divulge too much personal information. Think about the interviewer like they are a new friend. You don't want to share too much all at once because they could get overwhelmed. It's okay to talk about a few of your interests and where you're from, but use this time to your advantage. Talk about things that are relevant to this position, things that will give the interviewer more insight into your skills, abilities and your personality.
