Flipping the script in an interview

“Tell us a little bit about yourself” can feel like a stale interview question, especially when they’ve already read your resume! Next time, try flipping the script: respond with, “Would you like to know something that’s not on my resume?” Then share a personal story that ties back to the job and the skills you've gained from it. This approach grabs their attention, builds engagement, and puts you on an even playing field—making the interview more of a conversation, not just an interrogation. Take control of your narrative!
