Tell me About Yourself?

  • Pick the Right Starting Point for Your Story

Your objective while replying, "inform me regarding yourself," is to give a short, compact walkthrough of your profession story that will flaunt applicable bits of experience. You need to begin at a point before (like how you started working in this field), and end up at your present circumstance. So the main thing to choose is the place you'll start the story…


“I graduated with my degree in Economics two months ago. I chose that field of study because I’ve always been interested in finance and money, and a couple of family members told me it leads to great career options, too.”


  • Feature Impressive Experience and Accomplishments

As you recount to your vocation story, clarify key achievements you've accomplished, work you've done, aptitudes you've learned, and key profession moves you've made. Is it true that you were advanced? That is constantly an extraordinary sign and worth referencing. Did you achieve something huge like taking care of a major issue for your last boss? That is extraordinary to make reference to, as well. Did you fabricate new aptitudes or conquer difficulties? Get explicit! Tell subtleties.


  • Close by Explaining Your Current Situation

  • Be Concise When Answering


This quarry appears to be straightforward, such a significant number of individuals neglect to get ready for it, however it's urgent. Here's the arrangement: Don't give your total business (or individual) history. Rather give a pitch—one that is brief and convincing and that shows precisely why you're an ideal choice for the activity. Dream author and MIT vocation advisor Lily Zhang suggests utilizing a present, past, future equation. Talk a smidgen about your present job (counting the extension and maybe one major achievement), at that point give some foundation with regards to how you arrived and experience you have that is significant. At last, segue into why you need—and would be ideal for—this job.


EXAMPLE : “I graduated with a Business degree in 2010, and was offered an account management position from a telecommunications company I had interned with. I loved working with customers and managing and growing my accounts, but the industry we were in just wasn’t very appealing to me. After that, I stayed a full year and learned a ton about how to build and manage accounts successfully and  I ended up becoming a top performer in my group before leaving. I left at the 1-year-mark to pursue a very similar position within an industry I’m much more excited about- healthcare. I’ve been at this healthcare startup space for 2 years with this company and I feel ready to take my career to the next level so that’s why I’m currently looking for a new opportunity.”
