    i did this and my interview went "i just want to know who you are, not about your experiences or academics" 😭

    If you’re going into healthcare and say your passion is helping people make sure to expand on why healthcare is your choice of helping. You can help people in many ways but why healthcare specifically? If you’re a public health major maybe say you have the passion for protecting people through laws. Be specific. Good luck! I know you’ll do great

    Thankfully I found this two hours before my interview. I practised this for a couple minutes and made sure that my train of thought is organised. I hope the best for everyone prepping for an interview; make sure to do something that’ll calm you down beforehand (listen to music, eat a nice meal or snack etc). You got this! And thank you for your videos ❤️

    This really helps me a lot because this question is my most hated one being very broad. I tend to overthink and start to ramble and babble so thank you so much for this structure. :)
