I’ve got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven’t had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I’ve always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they’d like me to actually say, whether it’s about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

    When I was in your position I was honest about it and detailed what my ‘work’ was in caring for my mom.

    I suppose it did help that I was looking to be hired at a group home so the skills lined up.

    But showing that you’re motivated, care, and are detail oriented in your personal life can speak volumes about you while also covering for the gaps in your employment history.
