Checklist for answering the About You Question
Keep It Professional: This isn’t the time to talk about your family and hobbies unless you believe that it would be relevant.
Share Your Passion: Tell your story from a passionate perspective, even if that touches on the personal territory.
Be Concise: Think of it as a teaser that should attract the interviewer’s interest. Give them a chance to ask follow-up questions about whatever intrigues them most.
Know Your Audience: Are you talking to a recruiter or a prospective boss.
Keep It Positive: Do not speak bad about your previous employer. It is a big turn-off.
