About a few months before my last job change, I sat down and listed all the positions I'd held in chronological order, then crossed out everything that wasn't relevant to the position I wanted. That single edit cut my response from four minutes of rambling to less than ninety seconds. The overall chain of events is more important, though I must admit my situation was quite simple compared to when I had a double major.

Last March, I spent an entire weekend mapping out what I really wanted the hiring committee to remember about me after the interview. The about me question is one that most nurses underestimate because it seems informal, but it sets the framework for everything that follows. For example, information on this specific format can be found here ​https://roundlyhq.com/blog/tell-me-about-yourself-nursing-interview/​​​ My advice: tell me about yourself during a nursing interview quickly and get everything straight.
