first talk about your education background........starting from your school till the last education you had..........then talk about your strengths...........and give reasons why these strengths are actually your strengths........"For example I am fexible because as my father had a transferrable job......i had to change school in every 2years time.......so i am very much flexible to get accustomed to a new environment"

This is the way to start.........and after giving your strength and talking about it will suffice your introduction to the interviewer

I think my suggestions will help you a lot.....because it has helped me to get a job

All the best

What are your key accomplishments? What are the biggest accomplishments of your career? Money that you’ve saved, sales that you’ve generated, bureaucracy that you’ve removed, etc. Keep it short, because the "why" and "how" that follows is often more important than just the "what."

What are the strengths that are demonstrated by the accomplishment(s)? Don’t just leave your achievement to stand on its own. Give them a peek under the covers to see why and how you were able to do what you did. Again, keep it short, but at the same time, don’t assume that the employer will connect the dots so they can fully appreciate the depth of your accomplishments. You have to connect the dots for them.

Why should they care? Too many applicants are so self-focused that they fail to remember that your accomplishments only matter in terms of what you can do for the company considering hiring you. Take the time and trouble to apply your skills to their needs, concerns and problems.

Why does this position matter to you? Paying the mortgage might be the real motivation, but don’t tell them that. Come up with a few reasons why you have a fire in your belly to work for them. Everyone wants to be wanted, give them evidence that you want to be on their team.

How are they reacting to what you’re saying? You should always be watching the job interviewer’s body language. What do they seem to be responding to. And respect them by never droning on for more than two-minutes at a time. Remember, they can always ask a follow-up question for additional information.

Don't list personal things. List professional details about yourself. For example:

"I graduated from Blah College with a This and That. I worked at So and So company from 1999-2006, as a Whatever. I was happy there, since I got to use my training in such and such a manner, but I decided the time was right to move on and further my career."

DON'T say things like, "Well, I'm 25. I'm living with my boyfriend/girlfriend. I have a dog and a hamster, and I really like to cook." They want to know why they're hiring you, not what you're interests are.

Think of an achievement that you have accomplished and talk about it. Talk about what you like to do in a job. Talk about what your friends say about you (good things). Maybe talk about where you went to school and what you were involved in. Talk about volunteering that you do or have done. Always relate these things back to something that shows you'll be good for whatever job you're applying for. Write these thing down and rehearse it out loud until you are comfortable saying it. You might feel stupid talking to a mirror, but once you can say it without feeling embarrassed, you're ready for the interview. Remember that you have to sell yourself. Talk about why you're better than everyone else.

To make a first good impression why don't you counter with a question asking your interviewer, "What would you like to know about me?"

because most of the times interviewers arnt looking for answers about your hobbies, interests, sports, education, experience etc.. however countering with a question & asking them to be lil more specific shows how well sorted out and specific YOU are!!

I would just start off my telling them your interest and what your currently doing....maybe if your in school or if you have a family

An example of what I would say is...
I am currently going to school for nursing part time. I also have a little boy who is 3 months that I love spending time with. I love to spending with my family and friends....Going to the movies and those kind of things.I also am involved with my nieces brown troup.

You want to make sure that you stay away from ummm and pausing to much.

Hope that this helps

Ask if they mean as related to career and goals or do they mean personal

Then depending on the answer tailor your response accordingly....tell them about past jobs and your future goals if career related or
Tell them you are a personable person, like to interface with others, enjoy computer related tasks....blah blah - whatever you think they are interested in....sports, singing in the choir.....
If you are going astray with your response, look for that tired glazed look in the interviewers eyes and switch topics.....

Good luck

Ask them to be more specific! If that's what they want to know maybe you should look for a different job. The interview is your opportunity to tell them that they should hire you, not a time for blind date questions!

First of all keep it short don't go into a rant about every detail.....Start with what you currently do.......You know I am the chief french fry supevisior at Mc Donalds and the fries have never been better. Then move on to what you plan to do....I am currently in the running to flip the burgers.
