First try to understand in your own mind why they are asking this question! If you were sitting where they are, what would you like to hear in a short amount of valuable time!
From Experience, (A lot of it) what they want to hear is this:
Where were you raised (Large city, small town, country Girl etc).
What is your Education, might include latest GPA!
Did you excel or participate in Extracurricular activities, at what level?
What types of clubs or associations are you affiliated with, did you hold any leadership position in any of them.
What type of experience do you have. IE: other internships or related after school/summer jobs. They are truly interested in how ambitious you are!
What do you believe you bring to the table with this position you are applying for?
Why do you see yourself as qualified? Besides education!
Where do you see yourself in 5 years!
Are you willing to travel/relocate? This will probably be a requirement at the firm you are going to! (Fleishman Hillard)
Now balance these with your knowledge of the company you are applying to.
Good Luck!
