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:

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 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.

Here are examples given by WikiAnswers contributors:


• Hard worker, quick and eager learner, pays attention to detail.

• 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.

• "Hardworking", "Task-oriented", "Solution-oriented", "Dependable", "Motivated",


"Independent", "Team player" are all examples of good terms you can use. There are many
more.

• 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.

• Describe yourself as outgoing, hardworking, dependable, eager to learn and grow


professionally, etc.

• 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.

• No one can do that for you as only you know yourself.

• 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.

To proceed with this question, it is suggested to follow the below steps:

1. Introduce from which place you are.


2. Educational Qualifications
3. Work Experience (Freshers can talk about Industry/Project Experience)
4. Achievements at work place. (Eg: Appreciation, Awards, Certificates)
5. Membership with management/professional networks (Eg: life membership with HRD
National Network, etc) - if any
6. Personal Achievements (with respect to sports, cultural activities, etc.)
7. Last but not least, about your family as how they influenced your values.

As you requested for an Example, it goes like this:

"mm...I was basically born and bought up in hyderabad and my entire education life was
carried out in the same place. To speak further about it, I completed my intermediate and
graduation from the same college and with my family guidance, I planned to take up MBA.
Fortunately, with good CAT & ICET scores, I entered XXX college and choose HR as major
and EVent Mgmt as minor specialization. Given a thought, I moved ahead in my education
and was now pursuing MSc Psychology through distance. As per the goals set, I started my
professional career as HR Executive in a staffing company and then working with XXXXX as
Consultant. This position demands lot of Knowledge, skills and abilities which I am worth of.
I was appreciated by management in recognition of my designing abilities for a premium
program "HR skills for Non-HR". I always appreciate myself for being on track with my
career plans. I am also an active member of HRD Network from past 1 year. (speak about
personal achievements, if any). To be fair enough, I take pride for my present status in
my both professional and personal life, though my father works with XXXX, and mom with
YYYYY they share their experiences which has given me full support to face the situations as
and when they arise." (Probably the interviewer will stop you in the middle of the

discussion, I suppose [just kidding])

Make sure that you answer this question without long pauses (as if you are thinking), with
smile (when necessary) and naturally.

I hope this is what you are expecting. Kindly ignore the grammatical mistakes, if any.
