Tell me About Yourself

About 90% of the interviews start with this question.
Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting.


You can follow the following procedure:

1. Tell your name first, only if the interviewer doesn't called you by your name.
2. Location from where you belong.
3. Higher education and college name.
4. Strengths
5. Hobbies
6. Achievements- in brief
7. Any course you have done regarding the post required
8. Project Work
9. Work experience if any

 DO's & DON't:

1. The answer must not exceed 2-3 minutes.
2. Don't mention your weaknesses.
3. Don't mention your parents name and school name.
4. End the answer with your strong point because there are more chances that your next question rises related to that point.
5. No need to tell them about your percentage, i.e. mentioned in your resume.
6. Whatever you say must be true, they can easily figure out if you are fake.
7. Don't look like you memorized the answer.
8. Be optimist
9. Short is sweet, they don't want to hear a long story form you.
10. They can interrupt you in between and cross question you. Be prepared for that.
