   I talk about my passion for volunteering, I tell them about the events I voluteer at, triathlons and marathons. That while I no longer run, how important it is to me, personally to support runners.

   This is absolutely generic, and most people are very interested in triathlons. It shows me as an enthusiastic person, who is heavily involved in community activities and volunteering.

   You’re basically using that time as an opportunity to brag about yourself, previous roles, accomplishments, strong points, etc. Being detailed but brief. Start off with your title and how long you’ve been in that industry. Branching out to the connection between previous roles. If changing careers, talk about how your previous roles have similarities to the role that you’re interviewing for. They want to know about you but not your life story about your pets, hobbies (unless it aligns with the job), etc.

   I’ve found the page “career vidz” on YouTube very helpful in the past. Helped me nail interviews big time.

   Hope this helps❤️

   Earlier in my career, I shared my career trajectory. Over time, I've learned that the time is better served as how my past experience benefits the role. Plan this out ahead of time but don't have it scripted and you'll feel more confident during the interview.

   Fabulous information thanks

   I would recommend creating an elevator pitch (30 seconds or so) that encompasses both professional and personal aspects. At a high-level, what do you specialize in? What are your goals? What are your passions outside of work? What keeps you motivated in life?

16. Erin BeemerApril 10,2024 at 3:29PM UTC

    There are lots of resources available on youtube, linkedin learning, etc which can help you prepare an elevator pitch. Master this and use it for this type of question or anytime you meet someone new.

17. AnonymousApril 10,2024 at 3:34PM UTC

    Ver helpful I will definitely look into it even though it’s easy to google this information that’s why I ask on here to be a little more precise coming from someone on here but all in all it’s still very useful

    LinkedIn Job Seeker Guidance has some very good examples you can read through.

    Not trying to be mean, but I hope it is just some sort of odd auto-correct on your computer that is capitalizing the first letter of every word...

20. Lisa McCartneyApril 11,2024 at 8:50PM UTC

    It's capitalizing the first word of the sentence.

    This just popped up in my LI feed (seems a ton of recruiters, job coaches, etc. have all kinds of advice on LI):

    The most common question asked is "Tell me about yourself." I can guarantee you that this is coming. Many candidates start telling their life stories. Don't do that. This is your sales pitch. Explain why and how you will bring value to the company with specific examples from your previous experiences. Be concise and don't undersell yourself.

22. AnonymousApril 11,2024 at 4:43PM UTC

    They are attempting to find out personal things about you which can often mean illegal questions. Don't bite. Don't just rattle off things. Instead turn things to them, ask the manager if you can learn more about how they got hired, what keeps them up at night about work, how you can help be impactful in the team that exists today. Let them know if you do any philanthropic things or volunteer work. If it is for a religious or political organization do not share that. They could use that to bias consideration of you for the role.

    Another approach is to say I prefer to talk about what motivates me at work and the style that works best for me is, and if you manage me this is how I process getting new work, etc.

    Trust me - they are not trying to get your life story. They don't have all day. They want a simple, succinct overview of your career, where you've been where your going, highlights - they want you to sell yourself not your autobiography.

    This narrative that there is shady intention behind everything really needs to stop.

24. AnonymousApril 12,2024 at 12:27AM UTC

    Don't be paranoid. There is zero fishing

    They want the last 5 or so years of accomplishments in your career. "I love taxes and have experienced 50 states of various requirements and ways to get them all done on time with my organization and top notch skills blah blah blah "

    Answer their questions, do your investigation work on organization, ask your intelligent questions, send a thank you note and pray.

    That is all.

25. AnonymousApril 12,2024 at 4:39PM UTC

    I totally disagree, often naive interviewees want to just respond. My commentary was a don't become a teller of all things personal as that can sometimes become bias in the interview.

26. AnonymousApril 12,2024 at 12:56PM UTC

    I always ask “where would you like me to start” at least u can narrow time a time frame they are looking for and then stay guarded.

27. AnonymousApril 12,2024 at 1:22PM UTC

    Start with a prepared "elevator pitch." which is what you would say in the time it takes for an elevator to go up ten floors (3 minutes or less). Give highlights from your resume, the type of job you are looking for, and why you feel this job suits you. If you can, give them something that makes you uniquely qualified to do the job and how that will make their company better.

28. Tami L CannizzaroApril 12,2024 at 7:11PM UTC

    Agree with the "elevator pitch" comment in this thread. Truth is, hiring managers don't want to hear a long, drawn-out history from a candidate. So we need to make this our opportunity to quickly relate why we can solve their problems (be a great hire) by using brief statements that showcase our experience.

    And - as someone else suggested - this is not a time to talk about kids, sick parents you take care of, or other topics that are illegal for hiring managers to ask of us. It's fair game though if we talk about it on our own. And once it's out there, it can't be "unheard".

    Be brief in your reply. Maybe use the phrase listed on the top of your resume for what you are, and what you seek.

    Hey hey! There was a stretch when I treated every spin like noise, then somewhere along the ride I learned rhythm matters more than rush. A few wild sessions around https://pinco-casino.win/ changed how I play; not because of giant miracle hits, but because some slots started feeling like little stories unfolding, tension building reel by reel. I remember chasing a bonus round at 2 a.m., half laughing, half locked in, when a modest stake suddenly snowballed into one of those wins you replay in your head for days. That’s when bankroll discipline stopped sounding boring and became part of the thrill. I lean toward testing a slot patiently before raising stakes, watching volatility instead of attacking blindly. Some nights the game feels cold, and walking away becomes the smartest move. Funny thing, the sessions I respected most often paid back hardest. My advice? Treat bonuses like ammo, not treasure, play slower than your pulse tells you, and let instinct grow from observation, because the real edge often hides in patience, not aggression.
