That being said, and unfortunately with John Lennon interviews that only go as far as 1980 without the ability to substantiate anything in print from Paul after that, both accounts will be discussed below to allow the reader to make his own determination. This song history is written with the intention of presenting the facts using all of the known information up to this point. For all intents and purposes, “In My Life” had been considered to be a full-fledged "John song." Because we lost him in death, it seemed almost sacreligious to think he might not be its primary writer. Paul’s compositional involvement was admitted by John in interviews, but only as being of minor significance. And not only musically, but lyrically as well. However, it was amidst some controversy that Paul McCartney’s 1997 published autobiography “ Many Years From Now” (co-authored by friend Barry Miles) recounts in convincing detail how he himself played a very large part in writing the song. It was only natural, even expected, that the soundtrack to the 1988 documentary movie “Imagine: John Lennon” would feature the song. The lyrics became all the more potent and poignant as we all exchanged accounts of how his music had touched our lives. The sentiments of the song rang true as “a personal epitaph, a warm-hearted salutation to friends and lovers,” as described by author John Robertson in his book “ The Complete Guide To The Music Of The Beatles.” The song was played endlessly on local radio stations throughout the world. The perception of “In My Life” as a nostalgic recollection from John was never stronger than after his untimely death on December 8th, 1980. “He did have a very warm side to him really,” recalls Paul McCartney, “which he didn’t like to show too much in case he got rejected.” Far from being rejected, the song “In My Life” has always been viewed as a respected piece of music lodged toward the end of their 1965 pop masterpiece “ Rubber Soul.” John may have had the reputation of being the "rocker" in the group even during the early years but, as evidenced as early as the previous year's “ If I Fell,” he periodically allowed his softer feelings to show in his writing. By the end of the song we feel like we’ve been taken on a hand-sketched two minute and twenty-three second journey through the life of John Lennon. Although no “ places” or “ friends and lovers” are mentioned by name, the listener is drawn in by the reminiscent tone of his vocals along with the tender feel of the melody line and musical arrangement. “ There are places I remember…” With these introductory lyrics, John Lennon begins what most regard as a personal reflection of the first twenty-five years of his life.

By being concise, highlighting your strengths and expressing your passion for the industry, you can make a positive impression on the interviewer and increase your chances of success in the hiring process. Tailor your response to your specific skills, experience and accomplishments. Having a script can help guide and prepare for the interview. Many people feel the need to give an information overload dump of everything they think the interviewer needs to know about them, their background and their personal life. However, it is important to tread lightly, as it is all too easy to get distracted and start oversharing past personal stories. You can mention hobbies, interests or projects outside of work as long as they are relevant to your career and the job you’re interviewing for. You can bring up why you went into this field, why you enjoy and are passionate about what you do and share how switching jobs is an important step toward building and growing your career. In answering this question, you can let your personality shine.
