Interview Question: Tell Me About Yourself

If you are asked this question at interview it is important to remember what your interviewer will be looking for in candidates for the job in question. It would be easy to start talking about your favourite hobbies and interests, but bear in mind that talking about more relevant activities may be beneficial.

Be prepared to ask your interviewer to define the information they are looking for by asking: “What would you like to know about me?” This gives your interviewer the chance to get you to tell them exactly what information he or she is looking for.

Your interviewer will probably be most interested in information involving your job. If you can, see if you can build into your response positives which relate to the job you are applying for.
