How do you answer tell me a little about yourself?

Answer 1

hi,i want to know how to say,when they ask me tell about ur self,how to start and end

REAL ANSWER Tell the person your main points. "I'm a religious person who is active in his community." This says that you are honest, caring, and participate in the community. "I'm a student with a 'b' average in my courses..." This says that you are studing to improve yourself, and are bright. "I'm a recent graduate and I think that work would be a dose of the real world." This one says that you are trying on work as a break from school. If you couple this one with the 'b' remark, it says that you are trainable, with potential to advance. Add in your interests, like your hobbies, talents, and skills. DO NOT tell them that you can beat Zog of Zorgon in the latest computer game! This says that you are a goof off. While you may be, you don't tell the employer that. Math skills are always good, along with artistic hobbies, and poetry. Language skills are excellent (remember how the teacher said you could talk the ears off a donkey?) and communication is a wonderful asset. Make it fairly short, and end with the question, "Anything else I can answer?" This one says that you are open about your life. Other things...do not come in with your pants around your backside...at least wear a belt. Tuck your shirt in, and turn off your cell. It's rude to get a call at an interview. BATHE!!!! Brush your teeth. If you are prone to sweaty palms, swipe the ole deodorant over them about half an hour before you go. It stops that problem. Tie your shoes, and make sure they're clean. Remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression. Good luck!

Answer 2

I began developing skills relevant to financial planning when I worked as a financial analyst for three years. In that role, I succeeded in multiplying the wealth of my clients by carefully analyzing the market for trends. The return on the portfolios I managed was generally 2% more than most of the portfolios managed by my company. My initiative, planning, and analytic skills were rewarded by two promotions. As the manager of a team, I successfully led them to develop a more efficient and profitable strategy for dealing with new accounts. My subsequent training in the law, including tax law and estate law, gives me an informed view of what types of investments and charitable gifts would be most advantageous for your clients.

This is generally an interrogative statement querying your activities in relation to the subject being discussed. Since this is in the scholarships category, it should be your activities pertaining to extracurricular activities. If not, then list your personal hobbies.

The best way to answer this question is to have a 30-second elevator pitch prepared that gives the interviewer an overview of who you are, what value you bring to the organization, and the type of positions you are seeking.

For example:

I am a senior marketing executive with 15+ years' experience and expertise in creative direction, advertising and promotions, and corporate branding for retail and service-oriented companies. I have consistently delivered significant impact in the areas of sales growth, new product releases, and corporate brand awareness.

Answer 5

This is a very common interview question, usually asked at the beginning of the interview. The interviewer is just trying to learn a little about you. There is no one "right answer"-- it's simply a way for you to introduce yourself. So, tell the interviewer a few things that will provide an introduction: perhaps where you are from, what you studied in school, what your hobbies are-- not a big long list, just some interesting things about yourself, and then the interviewer will follow up on what you said.

Answer 6

You tell them about yourself, what you have done in life so far, and what your goals are for the future. Tell them what your interests are (hobbies and how you spend your spare time), if you are married, etc. Just general chit chat about you. Be honest ... do not fabricate anything about yourself that you cannot back up without facts. Do not lie.

Answer 7

Even though it sounds like "tell ALL about yourself", that isn't what it means! Pick a few highlights about the last 5 years, so, about high school or a job. Highlight your interests, your strengths, and how THIS job fits your interests.

Answer 8

When an interviewer says, "Tell me about yourself," the interviewer wants information that is pertinent to the job you're interviewing for. Personal experience like family background are not intended here.

Answer 9

You say I am a g@y f@ggit who likes it in the bum
