My personal philosophy don ' t go into a soliloquy , your interviewer really doesn ' t care . Use this as a way to start a conversation . Let the interviewer talk . I grew up in New Mexico and spent most of my free time hiking . Did you grow up out here ? I promise they won ' t remember the details of your carefully crafted speech , they will only remember how they felt after talking to you , and they will feel good if it ' s a giveandtake where you ask them questions and let them do a lot of the talking . Plus , practicing your answer too much really runs the risk of coming off as disingenuous . I ' m in psych though , and interviews might be different in other fields . Good luck ! <| sep |> I forgot how Stafford made like 5 big throws and a few big runs to put the Lions in a position to win like this
