Answer 3

If this is asked at the beginning, then it means 'give us your intro':
1. Start with short background of yourself. Write down a short para to make yourself comfortbale in seapking it - that includes academic background, professional background/ progess, one sentence of other experience and activities.
2. Bring back relevant areas of your background (academic, experience etc) that are relevant to the position you are being interviewed.

If this is asked not at the beginning, you can directly go into 2.

Answer 4

When you are faced with it, answer by highlighting your finest traits (educational, attitudinal and personal) which best match with the proposed job. Never go into personal details unless specifically asked. Center the interviewer's attention on your academic and professional achievements, experience and specific traits that would benefit the company.

Answer 5

The KEY here is that they're not really asking this question to find out about yourself, but rather as a way to test whether you can speak clearly, logically, and honestly about yourself.

So your approach should be one that accomplishes this. You can talk about your background and experience, as well as why you feel you're the right one for this job. The main thing is to make sure you speak well!

In other words, what you say isn't overly important, but how you say it is!
