Is it good idea to list examples of clients I've audited that are similar to the company that I'm interviewing for in the "tell me about yourself question"?

Looking past the obvious, that’s a pretty sorry “tell me about yourself” section

Um, no.

You can say you’ve worked on clients in the same industry and maybe list some reasons you like that industry to show you’re knowledgeable and interested but I wouldn’t name specific clients

I wouldn't when they ask tell me about yourself, but you can tie it in to answers elsewhere.

Hahaha I think they are lookIng for “I volunteer for the Red Cross and sit on the Board of my local Girl Scouts” opposed to “I was on the audit team for AT&T”

I guess the above are the technically correct answers, but if I’m interviewing you for a role that involves you auditing/advising a Fortune 500 company, part of what I want to know is that you are able to do it, and preferably have relevant experience.

Have you ever heard about “Green Line Offer” process which is supposed to be a quicker version of the standard Hiring Committee to reach the offer stage? My recruiter told me about this yesterday and said it will take 2-3 days as the review is done “offline” so no need to wait HC to meet. This was completely new to me. No background info asked so far so I’m wondering how they will do the background check.

They want me to send references now and will do a background check but does this seem odd to anyone else or am I looking in to this too much

Hot take. Cut all welfare programs. Take the budget from the programs and give them as monthly cash transfers for All US citizens (with minor tweaks depending on number of dependents). Benefit paid out would be higher than the existing programs as we cut administrative costs and don't have to spend anything on figuring out who qualifies. If it bothers you that rich people would get this, then raise income tax on the highest bracket by 1%.
