Job interview?

Question

When the interview ask you tell me about yourself what do you usally say? i know its a stupid question but i just want to know

Answer 1

Actually that's a great question. I HATE when they ask that!!! The main thing to remember is that they interested on what you can do for their company. so nothing like "I like action movies, I go to the theater every couple weeks but... my best friend just moved to alaska so I don't have anyone to hang out with." Say something like "I work really well in a group. I like asking questions to help me thoroughly understand my appointed tasks. I treat everyone with respect..."

Answer 2

If you're looking for a job, dress appropriately and be well-groomed -- hair combed, shoes shined, no jeans, sweats, or running shoes. Try to learn a little bit about the place you want to work for. Don't ask about the salary right off the bat. You'll answer the questions the interviewer asks you. Be truthful, and look the person in the eye. Don't twitch or display other nervous mannerisms. The kind of questions you'll be asked depends on the type of work you're looking for, so there are no pat answers. You'll also be filling out an application and most of your qualifications and/or experience will be on that. If you're asked about yourself, they usually want to know about your character, your temperament and your work habits. Sometimes they'll ask if you like to work by yourself, or with a team, or they may ask what you liked or didn't like about your previous job. Don't say negative things about your ex-boss or the job. That can ruin your chances, even if it's true. In other words, just be yourself, but use common sense and courtesy. Hope these hints will help. Good luck!

Answer 3

I stick with information that's relative to the job being offered. It's illegal for an interviewer to ask your age, marital status, religious affiliation or sexual orientation or things like that - including how far you would have to commute or could you handle overtime.

If they press for something more personal, I'd politely ask in what way that relates to the job. But I'd throw then a crumb to avoid sounding defensive - I'd say something like "Well, I enjoy music and relaxing with family and friends." Just be able to say what kind of music and what you do to relax - something safe nd true (e.g. soft rock, and sharing a meal together on the weekends).

Oh, and it's not a stupid question. You need to prepare an answer so you're not floundering during an interview.

Answer 4

Tell them what you like to do (interests and such)... tell them where you went to school... and tell them about your last/current job (the good things only).

Don't get too personal. Imagine if YOU were the interviewer asking someone else the same questions. Whatever you think would elminate that person as a candidate is what you DON'T want to say.

Answer 5

Take the attitude that you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you...You want a good match and a job that you'll enjoy. Just talk to them openly and honestly.

Answer 6

At that time they have opened the floor for you to give your own sales pitch. You can talk about your character or hobbies that give clues into what kind of habits that you have. Most importantly remember to relax and have a great outlook!

Answer 7

I act like I'm a used car salesman, except instead of selling a car, I'm selling myself. Always know your customer, if you want to make the sale

Answer 8

I tell them about myself in its relation to the position I am applying for.
