Well, here is my suggestion.
1. start with the strengths you are most confidant. It should be related to the job you are applying for. Maintain the eye contact while speaking and be clear about what you say. Explain may be 2 to 3 strengths.
Example:
I have ability to cope with failures and try to learn from my mistakes.
This question is mostly followed by the following question.
"What are your weaknesses?" Explain the weakness in a positive manner. Discuss the weakness which is everyones weakness. How about something like this.
"I prioritize continuous growth and improvement. An area on which I would like to focus is managing others who have different expectations from me. I am learning how to give better direction to others who are not self-motivated.
Expanded answer to question:
Develop an honest, interesting story about yourself that tells a story about how you evolved through your training, education and most importantly your experiences. For instance, describe how you learned to be resourceful because you had a large family and times were difficult. This shows, that you are a self-starter, take initiative and that you are creative. The method for answering this question is as follows:
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself?
Interviewee (you): I come from a large family that did not have very much growing up. As a result, I learned efficiency, how to take initiative, could develop very compelling arguments with my older siblings. These skills served me well in my early career as I established myself as an expert technical developer (can substitute for something else). As I broadened my exposure, this allowed me to take on more demanding roles and complex projects. For example, I led this project and that project that was failing. I always had a knack for solving the most demanding and complex issues that could impact the bottom-line or jeopardize winning a new client. My upbringing taught me not to shy away from difficult situations and that there is always a solution. Together, the attributes would bring tremendous value to your company as you seek to increase sales while also contracting the number of staff.
As you can see, you've told a story without sounding too boring and you demonstrate how "who you are" as a person is quite compelling and relevant to the interviewee. Of course this assumes you have done research about the company for which you are interviewing and so on.
There is not a difference between describing yourself and telling about yourself in a job interview. This is a time when you want to try and sell yourself so the employer will want to hire you.
Employers and applicants each have different goals when attending an interview.
I would say this is on a job interview. Tell me about your self. I would like to know how much you know about this job you are applying for . Do you have any hobby's Do you have any awards for anything. you need to more less now sell your self ,come up with all the impressive things about yourself.
These are some questions that might be asked at an interview for a sales position. Tell me about yourself. Why do you want to work in sales? Why did you leave your last job? What is your greatest weakness.
I am not interested in housekeeping work. However, if this is a question for a job interview, then only you can answer it - after all it is YOU not anyone else that is applying for the job.
Tell them your background.
YES
Some common questions asked during a job interview include: "Can you tell me about yourself?", "What are your strengths and weaknesses?", "Why do you want to work for this company?", "Can you provide an example of a time when you faced a challenge at work and how you overcame it?", and "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
When telling an interviewer about yourself in a job interview, focus on the positives. Also make it concise and don't make yourself seem selfish or full of yourself. Say your strengths that would apply to the job you are interviewing for.
just be yourself
start by saying the basic info like name age and address then proceed to education and job experience. you can also includes hobbies and interest
You tell the truth.
