  7. Tailor Your Answer: Customize your response for each interview and position you apply for. Highlight aspects of your background that are most relevant to the specific job.
  8. Practice and Prepare: Practice your response beforehand to ensure you can deliver it confidently and succinctly. Avoid memorizing a script but focus on the key points you want to convey.
