Find a way to present yourself to your full advantage.</li><li>This is not the time to talk about all your personal details. Focus on who you are as a professional.</li><li>Because this question can be interpreted in many ways, do not be overwhelmed by it. Delve right in with your prepared answers.</li></ul>
