Can you tell me something about yourself?

Be mindful of these typical mistakes:

First, answer these questions to prepare your response: 1. Why do you consider yourself a good fit? Provide a brief overview of 3-4 relevant skills and/or share a story that showcases your relevant personal attributes.

2. Which responsibilities got your interest the most?

3. How does your experience/education align with the position?

4. What skills would you like to learn and why?

Using the responses above, write your answer to the question “Tell me about yourself”. Practice by recording yourself delivering this response, focusing on your intonation, body language, and overall confidence. Ensure that your response can be delivered in no more than 3-4 minutes.
