How to Answer “Tell me about yourself?”
Good credentials will give you the confidence to apply for the post of your liking. A good resume will ensure that you are called for a face-to-face interview with the management.
The day of the job interview can quite literally change the course of your life. It all depends on whether the interviewer considers you the best match for the position. One way to do this is to answer the following questions well: “Tell me about yourself”?
Often, people have answers prepared for just about any question: Courses attended, languages known, additional skills obtained, relevant work experience, etc. However, the big question “tell me about yourself” often goes unattended in the process of preparing for the interview.
However, this is one of the very most important questions! So make sure not to forget to prepare an answer for it. Because no matter how harmless it might seem to you, it is anything but harmless.
You are walking on a thin ice in dealing with this question; more so than you would imagine.
In fact, if you mess this question up, that is probably it. You just threw everything away. In contrast, if you have a great answer, you will shine. And, yes, this is possible by carefully highlighting and describing some thoughtfully selected traits.
First, give a very brief summary of yourself: Personal details, place of birth, family background, and education background. And then dive into highlighting some of your achievements that you are most proud of.
Here is an example: You might have had some kind of leadership position in your school, or maybe you were a captain of a sports team. Anything like this will automatically show the leader in you.
In the end, you can bring your answer to a close by stating how those abilities and skills are relevant for the position at hand. You absolutely need to make it relevant to them, because, after all, it is all about them.
