Tell Me Something About Yourself

Golden classic used at the start of interviews to break the ice For interviewers to get a good initial run down of who you are and

your "hidden" characteristics, demonstrated in the way you present this self-story.

You should prepare a 2 to 3 minute presentation that briefly describe: introduces your self (where you're from) your personal interests (hobbies, community involvement etc) your work history recent career experience

Interviewers look for: brief, sequential summary of your life and career that relates

to the job for which you're interviewing. Your conversational style, your confidence level, your ability

to organize and present information An idea of the person you are behind the suit
