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.
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.
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?
Prepare a script that includes the information you want to convey. Begin by talking about past
experiences and proven success:
• Example: Because of past experience and MBA degree, I am versatile and can perform well in
many kinds of positions. Now I am looking for a challenging internship position in an
established company. Basically, I am an experienced and flexible person can be successful at
any kind of finance works.
• 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.
• Fast paced, quick learner and very challenging. That's all they want to hear.
• This question is usually asked in order to gauge how a person perceives himself.
• Just be honest. List off a few characteristics that you see yourself as having. Actually, a
question of this kind is an ideal way to plug in everything we want to say about ourselves that
we had leave out of the CV.
• If you have attended a premier institution, say that the institution taught you much more than
the degree it awarded you. Mention people who influenced you, talk about the books you like
reading, your hobbies and your other interests.
• Talk about your strengths. Mention an instance when you used your conflict resolution skills or
selling skills or whatever. But make certain that it does not sound like blowing your trumpet.
Mention these instances as a good learning experience.
• Talk about your weaknesses, but make sure that they are positive weaknesses. For instance
you could say that that you are a person that pays more attention to details than is warranted.
You can openly confess a tendency to be impatient with team members who cannot carry their
own weight, or who cannot contribute sufficiently.
• Maintain the right tone in doing so. You do not want to give the interviewer the wrong
impression or make him feel that you get impatient at times.
• If asked to then you should do so. Prepare yourself for personal questions.
• Just list off a few characteristics that you see yourself as having. If it's for a job interview, make
all of the characteristics sound as positive as possible. This question is usually asked in order to
gauge how a person perceives him or herself. Just be honest. Are you outgoing? shy? diligent?
stubborn? clever? passionate? level-headed?
• Don't stress too much. If you can't think of anything. Then think of a few people who know you
and imagine how they would describe you. Pretend that your mom, a sibling, a good friend, a
co-worker, and your spouse or significant other are all sitting down in a room making a list of
your characteristics and then use the things you think they would say.
• Do not mention a bad quality if you are not working on it, e.g., what is your weakest quality? I
am not very competent using computers but I am currently taking a evening course to rectify
that/ i am going to...
• Most importantly back up what you say, why are you reliable?
Introduce Yourself" is the basic question faced by every interviewee in their interviews. This
is the time where you need to sell yourself. Speak about those which you could not cover in
your resume.
