This is a seemingly nice ice breaker but the employer will
be looking for examples in your answer of how your history and experiences are
transferable to their company and illustrate why you are the right candidate
for the job.
Remember to keep it relevant to the job to which you are
applying and relate it back at all times. For example, which university you
went to, what you studied, the work experience and general experience you have
done which has led to your interest in that particular role. If you do have any
extra-curricular activities then they are great to mention alongside this. Be careful
not to fall into the trap of cliché answers such as ‘I enjoy socialising’ and we
definitely recommend avoid leading with ‘what would you like to know?’
