This common interview (or networking) prompt can feel daunting, but with a little bit of preparation and practice, you will set the stage for a
conversation that helps you stand out from the crowd. For today’s short and sweet challenge (it is an off-day after all!), you will write-up and practice your response. Here’s how to get started!
TODAY’S CHALLENGE
Watch this short video with Medha Lallbeeharry ’21 to see how it’s done!

HAVE A BIT MORE TIME?
Practice your draft response by reading it out loud to a roommate, friend, parent, or anyone who will listen! Ask them what they think is missing (often we forget about our own greatest accomplishments and points of pride!).
