You want to talk about your education and where you worked before you came to the interview.
You also want to tell the interviewer the kinds of jobs you have done, and how they're related to the position you're interviewing for.
Finally, you can mention some personal characteristics that would be important in doing the job that you are interviewing for.
Now let's listen to our first sample answer.
I have always enjoyed working with computers, so it was an easy decision to major in computer science at California University with a plan to enter the IT field.
In school, I excelled in my computer-related classes and during my college years, I became particularly interested in software development, especially software that would help consumers.
That's why I applied for and completed a one-year internship with Lotadoe Industries.
At Lotadoe, I learned how to formulate new ideas for software and how to communicate those ideas effectively to the rest of the development team.
I am a very focused person and I tend to be product-oriented.
At Lotadoe, I made sure that whatever projects I worked on, I saw to completion.
For instance, I worked with a team that was developing a new version of a piece of popular software called Rototype.
I asked to be part of every step of software development and at the end of the project, I was given the responsibility of getting final technical approval.
I made sure that I followed through with the right departments, keeping my team informed of the progress.
This is the type of work I enjoy and that's why I applied for a position with your company.
Your company is a leader in software development and is in the forefront of new ideas in the field.
I think that the products your company has developed in the past several years have been outstanding and are the best on the market.
I want to work in a company where I can be challenged and where I can make a contribution.
I would very much enjoy working in your company to develop new software and to improve existing ones.
The first sample answer begins with the person telling the interviewer something about her education and what her plans are in terms of the area, or the field, that she's interested in.
