Tell us about ur self?..

Answer / adenewton

How do you answer 'Please tell us about yourself' in a job
interview?




'Tell Me About Yourself'

Your answer should be relevant to the job for which you are
being interviews. Do not start going into your personal
life. Keep your self-introduction PROFESSIONAL.

A person is defined in three ways: (1) who he is right now,
(2) what he has done in the past, and (3) what he will
become in the future.

So, here is how you answer: (1) I am a [the job title for
which you are applying or something very close.] (2) I have
[how many years of experience] in [what field, what
subject]. (3) I want to be [a job title that is a couple or
a few levels above the current position for which you are
applying in 5 to 10 years.]

Close your answer with an affirmative question: "Is there
anything else you want to know?"

Here are more suggestions for answering this very common
interview question.


You should be very straight forward and honest in replying
to this question. The interviewer wants to check if what
you have mentioned in your resume is correct or not.

I would answer the question based on who is interviewing
me? If it's a sales manager/Technical Manager/Human
resources manager? Depending on the person's field I'll
have to mend the answer to please him...I feel that
everyone's goals are different...so anlayse that and then
answer.

Answer this question with your 30 second "elevator speach"
about yourself. The standard format for this speech
is... "I am a (BLANK), who does (WHAT)." In my case... I am
a PROJECT MANAGER, who PROVIDES QUALITY MANAGEMENT
SOLUTIONS, Blah, Blah, Blah. (you get the idea).

The Answer can Start like this: "I have 10 years' sales rep
experience, working in a variety of industries, from retail
to advertising. For the past two years I have been working
in the food industry. In addition to my successful sales
techniques, I have a great record for forming long-standing
relationships with customers. I'm a team player who thrives
on challenge."

Let me share what my recruiting office tells its candidates
as they head out for that crucial face-to-face interview.
When asked to "tell me about yourself," say, "I will gladly
answer that question, but may I first ask you a question?
(They ALWAYS say yes) So that I may better focus my answer,
what are the issues you want me to address should you hire
me? Once they share with you what they need to have you do,
then proceed to address how your training, education,
skills, and experience can best resolve these issues. By
answering in this fashion, you have proven that you know
how to focus ... and that you have what's needed to fix the
issues they need to have fixed. It's always a winner ...
and beats the heck out of, "Well, let's see, I was born on
a small farm in Idaho ..."

I am a self-starter dedicated, hard-working person who
works well with other, punctual, detail oriented a team
player, great organizational and interpersonal skills.



Answer

Tell Me About Yourself




It's one of the most frequently asked questions in an
interview: Tell me about yourself. Your response to this
request will set the tone for the rest of the interview.
For some, this is the most challenging question to answer,
as they wonder what the interviewer really wants to know
and what information they should include.

Eleanor dreaded this question. When it was the first one
asked at her interview, she fumbled her way through a vague
answer, not focusing on what she could bring to the job.

"I'm happily married and originally from Denver," she
began. "My husband was transferred here three months ago,
and I've been getting us settled in our new home. I'm now
ready to go back to work. I've worked in a variety of jobs,
usually customer service-related. I'm looking for a company
that offers growth opportunities."

The interview went downhill after that. She had started
with personal information and gave the interviewer reason
to doubt whether she was an employee who would stay for
very long.

* She's married, and when her husband gets transferred that
means she has to leave; she did it once and can do it
again.

* She has some work experience with customers but didn't
emphasize what she did.

* She is looking to grow. What about the job she is
applying for? Will she stay content for long?

The secret to successfully responding to this free-form
request is to focus, script and practice. You cannot afford
to wing this answer, as it will affect the rest of the
interview. Begin to think about what you want the
interviewer to know about you.

Focus

List five strengths you have that are pertinent to this job
(experiences, traits, skills, etc.). What do you want the
interviewer to know about you when you leave?

Eleanor is strong in communications and connecting with
people. She has a strong background and proven success with
customer relationships. Her real strength is her follow-
through. She prides herself on her reputation for meeting
deadlines.

Scripting

Prepare a script that includes the information you want to
convey. Begin by talking about past experiences and proven
success:

"I have been in the customer service industry for the past
five years. My most recent experience has been handling
incoming calls in the high tech industry. One reason I
particularly enjoy this business, and the challenges that
go along with it, is the opportunity to connect with
people. In my last job, I formed some significant customer
relationships resulting in a 30 percent increase in sales
in a matter of months."

Next, mention your strengths and abilities:

"My real strength is my attention to detail. I pride myself
on my reputation for following through and meeting
deadlines. When I commit to doing something, I make sure it
gets done, and on time."

Conclude with a statement about your current situation:

"What I am looking for now is a company that values
customer relations, where I can join a strong team and have
a positive impact on customer retention and sales."

Practice

Practice with your script until you feel confident about
what you want to emphasize in your statement. Your script
should help you stay on track, but you shouldn't memorize
it -- you don't want to sound stiff and rehearsed. It
should sound natural and conversational.

Even if you are not asked this type of question to begin
the interview, this preparation will help you focus on what
you have to offer. You will also find that you can use the
information in this exercise to assist you in answering
other questions. The more you can talk about your product --
you -- the better chance you will have at selling it.





Answer
When taking business courses and asked this very same
question, I answered, "What would you like to know?" My
instructor told me I was a very good person to interview.
This makes the interviewer feel like you are not hiding
anything.


Answer
I suggest you go into the interview with a few "talking
points" about yourself, in other words things you want the
interviewer to know about you. Then you try to hit those
points in response to any questions you are asked, such
as "tell us about yourself." Also be sure to have copies of
your resume with you and offer them. In general, interviews
go better when you spend them listening and don't talk. If
the interviewer is just telling you about the job, you
might have a good shot at it.


Answer
This is the chance for you to run down a 30-60 second sales
pitch for yourself. The employer doesn't want to know that
you like gardening or have four dogs. Here's where you
start usually with your education and highlight selling
points about your skills, experience and goals.

A sample presentation might go something like, "Well, I
graduated from Columbia with a degree in accounting, which
I put to use in my first job with The Smith Company. After
gaining a thorough understanding of business accounting
there, I began to specialize in cost reduction with The
Jones Company. During my time there, I was able to
restructure the materials spending budget and reduce
purchasing costs by 23% in one year. I find that my
understanding of accounting principles and my determination
to continually improve processes and myself has help me
establich an excellent foundation for future growth with a
progressive company."

I know it sounds like BS, but with personal touches, it
actually works.


Answer
Usually if you get questions like these my suggestion is to
tell them what they want to hear. Make your life up if you
have to, they won't know the difference. But be sure to use
things that you have some knowledge about. Don't tell them
you play golf and when they ask you a question about par
you're stumped. If you are a lazy teen who plays videogames
all day, and like to party, tell them you like to travel or
try new things to show that you are outgoing and whatnot. I
mean, you do have to travel to get to the party from your
house right? I mean go with the flow. They love it. I'm a
19 year old high school grad that is in that phase of my
life right now, so the best is if you have to fake it.
