Highlight skills that can translate into the job you are interviewing for. Avoid yes/no answers, always try to elaborate or give a relatable example.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
