Most of the Interview starts with the question ‘Tell Me Something About Yourself. This is the most common but one of the greatest possible questions, one may face while appearing in any kind of interview. The idea behind asking this question is to make you feel comfortable and to start the conversation. But don’t make a mistake to take it lightly. In fact, this is a chance for you to show your communication skill and to make a positive impression in the interviewer’s mind.
Include these points while Answering ‘Tell Me Something About Yourself’
- Your Name
- The place from where you belong.
- Brief about your family ( Not Mandatory). I personally never used it while answering this typical interview question – ‘Tell Me Something About Your Self’
- Your qualifications – Always start with Highest qualification.
- Job Experience if Any.
That’s it. But if you want you could add the below points also-
- Your Hobbies
- Your Strengths and Weaknesses. ( Again, I don’t use it because adding these points too, makes the your overall answer lengthy. Even sometimes, the interviewer may interrupt you in the middle.
My Final Tips about How To Answer Tell Me Something About Yourself:
- Make it short and precise. The ideal answer should be of 100-120 seconds
- Just Mug up the answer nicely as it is the most expected question and its answer will be same every time.
- Don’t let the interviewer a smell that you have mugged up the Answer. Be relax calm and use your usual fluency.
