Day Boy Question:

Keep your introduction positive, clean and simple. Focus on what is directly relevant. You want to show that you have the ability and desire to do the job, and fit into the company culture. Highlight aspects of your career, college, hobbies, and personal life that match that of the company.

Don't assume that your interviewer has read your resume. However, don't just recite your resume verbatim to your interviewer. The smart answer tells the interviewer why the interviewee is a good fit for the open position. If you are a recent college graduate interviewing for a sales position, highlight that you are a competitive people person who loves a challenge. If you are making a career switch, highlight your transferable skills. If you are keeping in the industry and looking for more responsibility, highlight specific examples of the best work you've done.
