Know how to answer this question prior to your interview - Can you walk me through your work history? Many candidates do not come to an interview ready to answer this question because they feel their resume speaks to their work history. The problem is hiring managers want to hear more than they already know.

Two things to remember:

1) Give strong, compelling answers. Your resume will guide the interview, but it's up to you to bring the background details.

2) Don’t use we too much. It is important to show you are a team player but it is just as important for the hiring manager to understand what values you offer.
