Don’t: list what is already on your CV, telling the interviewer where
you started and where you are now in chronological order.
Do: talk about your professional achievements throughout your
career history, share your proudest moments, talk about the things
that drive you and where you see your career going.

Don’t: just mention skills you have gained by doing training and
qualifications.
Do: mention skills you have gained BUT talk about how they have
developed you in your career and how they have helped you solve
business problems in previous roles.
