What are the do's and don'ts when answering this question? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Hello KW1091, I believe that this question is a way for interviewers to break the ice, and make the person being interviewed more comfortable. That being said, I think it is important to be speak in a friendly and open manner. I would discuss briefly about my educational background. It is good that they hear directly from you that you are qualified, but that information is already listed on your application as well. I believe it is good to talk about your interests and unique skills (reading, speaking another language, dancing), by doing so you are sharing about yourself and ways you can contribute to the school as well. In my case, I explained that I was Hispanic (though I do not look it) and that I could speak Spanish, this was well received because their is a growing population of Hispanics at my school. Lastly, I would talk a little bit about your character and how it could benefit the school. For example: I get along with others and believe that I would work well together with my peers on grade level teams.
