Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
The hiring manager asked me to walk her through my career so far.
In my last job interview, the first thing they said was 'Walk me through your career so far', and I panicked a bit because I'd only had two jobs.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Explain me your career so far.
Say: Walk me through your career so far.
'Explain' needs 'to': 'explain to me'. Interviewers usually say 'walk me through' for a step-by-step account.
