Take your time in answering if you answer it to quickly then it will seem rehearsed, just say your hobbies and pass times, previous employment, schooling, where you are from, any health issues, or if your health is perfect, have some references from previous employers to show that you are capable, and just let your personality shine through although appear to be focused and able, its not all about what you say, it how you say it, then you appear more relaxed and reliable from the start which makes you a more reliable candidate to keep on bored.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
