Sample answer outline
- Keep it to about 90 seconds and use present, past, future: who you are now, what shaped you, where you are headed.
- Pick two or three experiences that show different strengths, such as care, curiosity and leadership, instead of reciting your resume in order.
- Add one human detail (where you grew up, a family role, a serious hobby) so you are memorable.
- Land on why this path and this program, which hands the interviewer an easy next question.
What makes it work
- It is a guided tour, not a biography, so it stays short.
- Each experience is a hook the interviewer can ask about.
Avoid
- Reading your application back to them.
- Going past two minutes.
How to approach about you questions
- Answer the question you were asked in your first sentence.
- Back each claim with one concrete example.
- Connect it to the program and the career.
- Keep it to one or two minutes.
