Have you ever wondered that why despite of having listed all the details about yourself in the resume, the interviewer still likes to start the session by asking you “Tell me something about yourself”\rbrThe reason for this is that people like listening to information been presented to them in the form of verbal expression in contrast to referring to a printed document.\rbrYes this simply means that they directly like to hear from the horsess mouth that how would the candidates like to narrate the story of their life, in their own words.\rbr\rbr“Tell us something about yourself” doesnt means that you go right back to your childhood memories and share tales of your first love or your favorite ROCK band or your obsession with Harry Potter; rather think about the awards, accolades or experiences youve had in your life.\rbrConsider the themes, personality traits and skills that come across through these experiences and introspect that which of these are the most important to get across through recruiters.\rbrThrough personal introduction, the interviewer is giving you a chance to highlight all the key features of your personal and professional life, the top experiences youve had so far and the most influential skills you possess.
