Why & Resume · Interview Question
"Walk me through your resume" — and how does it differ from "tell me about yourself"?
How to answer
Give a chronological tour of your major experiences with brief context and a takeaway from each, plus why you made each move — still under ~2 minutes, still landing on this role. Difference: TMAY wants concise narrative + motivation; the resume walk wants progression and the decision logic connecting each step to the next.
Key idea: Treating them as the same prompt, listing every line item, or starting at high school instead of a tight arc that builds to 'why this role.'
