Guiding the interviewer through your CV
Question
You are asked to take the interviewer through your resume from start to finish. How should you approach it?
Short answer
Tell it as a connected story, in order, spending time in proportion to relevance. For each step say what you did, what you learned and why you moved on, so the choices look deliberate. Highlight quantified results and skills that matter for the role, and know every line well enough to go into technical depth on any of it.
