can u tell me ,what to answer in an interview for "tell me abt ur self"?

Answer 1

Obviously it's different to how you answer, say, at a party.

What I'd do is, tell them about my education, employment, interests, and ambitions - and what makes me a good person for the job. They don't want to know your parents' names or your favourite food - it's really just asking "why should we employ you?"

For example, if you're at school
"I'm at school, looking for part-time work so I can save some money for college"
This shows that you have ambition and that you're trying to be independent.
"In my spare time I like to play football with the school team"
Which shows that you're dedicated - you obviously show up to practice, and you're in a team, so you can work with others.
"In the future I'm hoping to be a manager" - demonstrates that you have ambition, you're planning for the future, and you want to learn from your job as well as doing it for the money.

Employers want to know that you're organised, you can work with others, you're hard-working, and you're interested in the work that you'll be doing. So you want to tell them good things about yourself! Don't ramble - just give them a little summary that helps them imagine you doing a good job!

Often "tell me about yourself" will lead on to a different question. I explained in my last job interview that I'd been to university and I didn't know what I wanted to do, and since I was very interested in the job I was applying for, I felt it was a good way to explore my future career path. The interviewer then asked if I only wanted the job for a brief time, and I reassured her that I was staying in the city for another year, and I was interested in studying for a qualification offered with the job. I got the job, so she must have believed me!

Answer 2

As an employer who conducts plenty of interviews, when I ask this question it is less about what you say (I already have your resume) and more about how you say it.

What I'm looking at are the words you use, the ideas you share, the way you structure the paragraphs, that sort of thing.

If someone asked me that question, I'd take a second to think about it, and then tell about me in a fashion that shows organized thought, proper grammar and diction.

Answer 3

Tell them a quick outline of what interests you, what you do in your spare time and your plans for the future. If this is a job interview go heavy on sports, volunteer work and family. Go minimal on the swingers party.

Answer 4

hobbies, interests, experience, education, work, but its best to put down something that is relevant with what you are interviewing for. To expemplify: the gap will not care if you have mastered the yo-yo. However, starbucks would be interested to see that somebody had worked at Peet's coffee for 3 years.

Answer 5

you should have this all worked out before you go for the interview and taylor it to the job you are applying for. For example: My resume details my experiences in this Field and my references will verify that I am a punctual, truly dedicated; self motivated; and loyal worker. I love to work hard and to do what ever I can to help my workmates.

Answer 6

Tell them a littel bit about your family background, where you live, what your hobbies are, what you enjoy doing, why you like the line of work you are in.

Give a few short sentences about yourself on a small variety of areas.

Answer 7

is it for a job interview? if so, answer the question by talking about your strengths, achievements, and qualifications for the position you're applying for.


goodluck!

Answer 8

it lks lke ur gng 2 hve 2 brsh up n ur englsh skls a litl

Answer 9

Don't repeat same thing about your qualifications.Tell about hobbies, extra curricular activities and what kind of person u r. Never say any drawbacks of your's.

Answer 10

I would shoot back with

"What do you want to know specifically? A diverse and exciting subject such as "myself" would take years to elaborate"

Haha. I am serious. Cheeky, but it works.
