Tell me about yourself, this question comes in several different forms, for example

tell

me your background or tell us your resume, but whatever it is, this is a trick question because interviewers ask us to tell them about ourselves and in fact , they know. everything about us when they see that resume exactly what they ask us to tell them they ask us two things one they want to know our attitude towards the job what kind of person I am - they want to know if I am a good choice for the job and what I can contribute to the company , so we must capture their attention and keep them interested.

Chances are they've had a full day looking at hundreds of applicants who look exactly like you. This is your chance to show them that you are the best fit for the job and now with that 10-step process, the first set of steps you need. What to follow is about who you are step number one is called greetings now formal greetings are highly recommended such as good morning before 12 known good afternoon after 12 known and good evening anytime after 4:30 or 5:00 in the afternoon until midnight rules smile be confident and make good eye contact and common mistakes are like saying hello, what's up and also fumbling between good morning and good afternoon Step number 2, thank you for the opportunity , this is an optional step and depending on the situation, you could say thank you for shortlisting me for the final interview or thank you for this opportunity to talk about me now.

Not only will this create a good first impression, but it will also help you and the interviewer relax a little. Step number three is your name now I am Chetna Vasishth I am Chetna Vasishth or you can also say my name is or my name is the rule is to smile to be proud of your name and enunciate it clearly and some common mistakes here are saying myself Chetna Vasishth or call yourself sir or miss now the question you have now is should I use my full name? and the answer is yes, always use your full name because simply using your first name can sound a bit informal.

Category two type questions are about why you are qualified, step number four, position and company, if you have work experience then this is the time to tell them about the position you held, the name of the company, the number of years and the awards he won. He won and what impact he has had on the company. What a difference it has made to them, for example, over the last five years. I have been a sales manager at Dot Dot, leading a small sales team and our team received the best sales team award. of the year for two years in a row I have worked closely with clients and built some key relationships, for example I am an HR manager at blah blah blah, looking after key recruiting compensation functions.

Learning and development. I have more than 5 years of experience in the field and we have been able to increase the productivity of our employees by 8 percent during this period. Now the rules for this step. One sounds enthusiastic about his work. Two doesn't sound very pompous, like he's a leader. I've done everything, I'm trying to achieve it. It sounds like you're a good team player, rule number three tell them

something

beyond what they can already read on your resume, and rule four is that if you make a claim, try to provide some evidence to make the question you're asking credible and plausible.

I want to ask myself right now should I start with my most recent position and go back or should I start with my first work experience and go forward and the answer is always start with your most recent position and talk about it and go back. only if it is very relevant or very important; Otherwise, your resume covers all of that. Step number five is qualifications. If you are new, you will not be able to answer step number four and will go directly to step number five, so let's look at some examples. I am a recent MBA from... - with previous work experience in the pharmaceutical sector or have completed a bachelor's degree in media with specialization in public relations and corporate communications or am currently pursuing a five-year integrated law program at - school with a focus on cyber law if your university is prominent and well-known, mention it;

Otherwise, let it go. Common mistake. I'm a bmm from NMIMS mm-hmm, so if you're newer than just a line, like I'm a software engineer from this or that school, it doesn't seem like enough, so this is your chance to add mini stories geared towards achievements. For example, I was part of the research project on how modern technologies changed the way we teach in the future, where we worked with an educational technology company to evaluate the effectiveness of Some technology-based teaching interventions ensure that you talk about a project in an area that is relevant to the employer and, if the area is not directly relevant, how about talking about some skills that might be relevant?

For example, you recently did a project called Impact of Gaming Consoles on Youth and you're about to interview with a food marketing company, how about you tell them this? This project helped us understand the motivations of today's youth and how to attract their attention with our products. and services, you can also talk about any training programs, courses or other experiences you have had during your graduation question. If I mention my CGPA when I'm a newcomer, I'd normally avoid it because it's already on your resume, but if you want to highlight your academic achievements, how about saying something like I've been consistently in the top 1% or 5% of my class, step number 6, additional qualifications, this may include any external courses in which you have acquired skills or awards you have obtained?

I want, for example, I have completed a six-month computer animation course of... I speak German and Spanish. I learned dotnet Java and Python on Coursera which helped me complete a project etc etc step number. seven is called adjectives now use some adjectives to describe yourself to the interviewer, for example, you could be versatile, tolerant, solution-oriented, determined team player or just someone who likes working with others now, if you currently care about English and not saying: Hello, English is not my first language and how am I going to be able to say all this. So I'm going to

Eight is called hobbies and passion, this is optional but you want to include it if it helps you make a connection with the interviewer, if you think they are important or helps you establish some skills you want to show them, for example, I am a trained singer and the Daily riyaaz has taught me self-discipline and dedication o I am an avid runner and this not only helps me stay fit but also helps me network with other runners in the community. I recommend that you keep this section very, very short. nine is family now this is optional.

Normally I would leave it out of a standard introduction, but you can choose to use it strategically if you wish, for example, my mother has been a housewife and during my vacation I helped her set up a small tailoring boutique at home with my savings from work or My father is a farmer and I helped him establish a process where he could sell his products directly at the farmers market and avoid the middlemen. Alternatively, you can use this technique to answer this question about family when the interviewer asks this question later during the interview and category three type of questions is why are you here.

Step number ten is called closing. This is the point where you tell the interviewer two things, one, why you are here, why you are applying for this job. and two, why are you the right candidate for this job? You can also use your future plans and connect them to the company's goals, for example, although I love my current position, I feel that I am now prepared for a more challenging task and this position really excites me. To me this is a very general statement and you can make it more specific and suitable for the company or you can show the research you have done on the company and add a bit of flattery too at this point for example.

With my passion for sports and data analysis skills, I want to work for a leading innovative sports analytics company like yours and believe I can make a positive impact. You can end your introduction by saying that's all from me, thanks for some rules. to follow for step number ten, read the job description so that you can get some words from there that you can cleverly fit into this answer and secondly, sound excited about the position and now some final

tips

Maintain good eye contact and appear confident while giving all of these answers if there is more than one person sitting in the room and only one person has asked you the question.

Answer the entire question by looking only at that person Look at everyone around the room Smile Relax Breathe and be confident Use a storytelling mode to tell your accomplishments You can use hand gestures if you want Don't overdo it, but you can use Some hand gestures also sound excited, happy about everything you've done in the past and everything you're going to do in the future and now let's put it all together and this is your sample introduction about tell me something about yourself, good afternoon. thank you for shortlisting me for the interview my name is Sonia Madhok I am the sales team leader at PQR for the last five years, making significant progress into new territories with our products.
