“Tell me about yourself?”
Job seekers are asked this at almost every interview they are participating in. It’s also one of those questions where job seekers tend to get nervous about. Listen to a conversation that discusses what’s behind the question and tips on how to answer it.
This podcast is with a human resources manager who gives advice on how to answer and why interviewers who ask this question are not experienced in interviewing. Our guest also talks in depth about how an interview is an opportunity to tell the interviewer about their knowledge, skills and abilities.
Take aways:
1. When answering the question – tell me about yourself – don’t go into your life history.
2. Ask the interviewer how they got their job.
3. Have a list of questions prepared to ask the interviewer.
4. Make sure the interviewer is selling the company, not just the role.
5. Remember that an interview is a two-way conversation
