This is when you talk about your record of getting things done. Go into specifics from your resume and portfolio; show an employer your value and how you’d be an asset.

2 :: Can you tell me a little about yourself?

This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but it's crucial. Here's the deal: Don't give your complete employment (or personal) history At El Paso. Instead give a pitch—one that’s concise and compelling and that shows exactly why you’re the right fit for the job.

There are some questions that your potential employer aren’t allowed to ask (but trust me, they probably want to).
