- Tell me about yourself. Use “Picture Frame Approach”
|
Answer in about two minutes. Avoid details, don’t ramble. Touch on these four areas:
- How many years, doing what function
- Education – credentials
- Major responsibility and accomplishments
- Personal summary of work style (plus career goals if applicable)
Prepare in advance using this formula:
- “My name is…”
- “I’ve worked for X years as a [title]”
- “Currently, I’m a [title] at [company]”
- “Before that, I was a [title] at [company]”
- “I love the challenge of my work, especially the major strengths it allows me to offer, including [A, B, and C]”.
- Second, help the interviewer by focusing the question with a question of your own: “What about me would be most relevant to you and what this company needs?”
