Help me write my answer to "Tell me about yourself". Role I am interviewing for: [TARGET_ROLE]. My background in a few lines: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Three things the job needs most: [JOB_NEEDS]. One achievement I am proud of: [ACHIEVEMENT].

Use the present-past-future structure, shown here:
"Right now I'm a support team lead managing six people and about 900 tickets a month. Before that I spent four years on the front line, where I learned how customers describe problems and how to fix the process behind them. Last year I cut repeat contacts by 18 percent with a new knowledge base. I'm looking for a role where I can design support systems, which is why this operations position is exciting."

Write three versions: 45 seconds (about 110 words), 90 seconds (about 220 words), and a 20-second version for networking. For each, mark where to pause and where to emphasize a number. Avoid reciting my resume in order, personal details unrelated to work, and apologizing for gaps. Give two alternative openings (a story and a result) and a list of follow-up questions the interviewer is likely to ask based on what I say. Use only facts I gave and mark missing numbers as [ADD NUMBER].

45-second version (about 110 words):
"Right now I'm a support team lead managing six people and about 900 tickets a month. Before that I spent four years on the front line, where I learned how customers describe problems and how to fix the process behind them. Last year I cut repeat contacts by 18 percent with a new knowledge base [CONFIRM]. I'm looking for a role where I can design support systems, which is why this operations position interests me."
Pause after "900 tickets a month" and "18 percent". 20-second networking version: "I lead a support team and I'm moving toward operations."
Likely follow-up: "How did you measure the 18 percent?"
