Most, if not all of us have been asked this question at one time or another. It is very often the favourite question from employment interviewers.

It is an incredibly open-ended question.

Do they want to know about my daily struggle with depression and sobriety?

Do they want to know what I have accomplished professionally in the years I have been employed to date?

If someone wants to know something about me, ask for specifics.

I dread this question almost as much as: “Where do you see yourself in five years?”

I’m not sure, hopefully still gainfully employed.
