    Hey Amri, I find your videos extremely useful and helpful. With this question though, I really try to stay away from what is already included in my CV because the interviewers have my CV. I always share things like my personality type and the chief attributes thereof that potentially match me to the job. Moreover, I just feel like I am not my work experience, so to answer that question using my professional experience is an injustice to who I truly am. And so that’s how I’ve always though and tackled the question. This method has helped me a lot and landed me much success. Thereafter, the interviewers ask questions about my CV and that is when I delve deep into my work and professional experience.

    To answer this I recommend having a think about your values and what has pushed you to that particular role or industry, for example your innovation, creativity or integrity, you can then use that as a descriptor for your personal brand - for example: 'an innovator,' 'a creative', 'a corporate strategist', and then expand on why that is your personal brand.

    Although this may be a little different in the UK depending on where you're based but I recommend starting with the grade or qualification, then talk about where you studied and when - then ask if they would like more detail so they can advise how much information they're looking for.

Here’s one. “How do you envision yourself as a Administrative assistant and how do you build rapport while collaborating with a diverse team?” Something like that, probably a more difficult question than that. I said, I’m not sure and I’ll have to get back with them on that question. Im sure I didn’t get the job lol smh.
