[QUOTE="njones95, post: 109935, member: 19836"] I was recently asked this question in an interview. What I really wanted to talk about was how I overcame chronic mental illnesses after a decade-long battle, or how I entirely self-funded the GDL by self-funding with a minimum wage job and working extremely long hours. Instead, I panicked as I worried that the recruiters would find the first example too personal (and then I blanked for the second, perhaps better example). I answered with how I resolved a relatively mundane, work-related problem. How far can I go in answering this question (and others like it) how personal can I make it? [/QUOTE]
