2. Avoid talking about personal details or life story: Avoid mentioning personal information such as marital status, children, political or religious affiliations, etc. These can be highly sensitive topics that might work against you as a candidate. No one is interest on it.

• Practice the answer again and again.

How to Answer:

Your answer should have three components:

1. Who You Are: Concisely summarizes diverse background. Your first sentence should be an introduction to who you are professionally, an overview statement that shows off your strengths and gives a little sense of your personality too.
2. Expertise Highlights: The emphasis here is on experience, enthusiasm, and proof of performance. Don’t assume that the interviewer has closely read your resume and knows your qualifications. Use your elevator pitch to briefly highlight 2-4 points that you think make you stand out.
3. Why You’re Here: Concise and positive. End by telling them you want the position and why.
