Hello. As a man, living in Russia and studying foreign languages, i want to express my gratitude to you for such an informative content. In Russian part of RU-vid there are only grammar videos and something like “how I leaned English”. But the work you’re doing greatly helps me to improve my communicational skills and to look at the language I study „from inside“. Thanks a lot, keep it going!

I was never able to answer this question better in my life.. just had an interview and I impressed my interviewers .. thank you Sir

I cannot believe but after watching your video I have been offered the job!!! :) I had 19 interviews for last 9 months with no success. So thank you so much!

- How was your job interview yesterday? - Well, I entered the office, found a man sitting on a large black leather chair with feet resting on the table... He pointed towards his Laptop, asked me to take it and go outside, then come back and try to sell him the laptop.. He thought himself as actor Leonardo Di Caprio of "The Wolf of Wall Street" movie.. So I took the laptop and left.. - Left...!! Then what? - Nothing 30 minutes later he called me up... begging me to return his laptop to him coz all his work and important documents were in it.. So I asked him: *Will you buy it ??*

I got a new job yesterday guys. I killed it at the interview

this is no Joke. this Video has helped me get two different jobs. i have always come back to it for all my interview and shared it to colleagues and friends. great one

This is by far THE BEST video on how to answer the question "Tell Me About Yourself". It explains: 1) What interviewers REALLY want to hear. 2) The main points you should include in your answer and in what order 3) How to deliver the answer (Duration / Tone of voice / Gestures /Attitude) 4) and most importantly an ACTUAL EXAMPLE!!!

I saw this video yesterday and cleared my first round. sending lots of good wishes to whoever has interview. You can do it.

2023. Thank you for this. Between 2019 and 2023 I was able to progress from 1 job to another growing both in experience and knowledge while advancing to bigger and better companies all solidified from past jobs. This Video has helped me many times in preparation for interviews with future employers. Thank you. Thank you Thank you.

I have an interview next week, tell me about yourself is the most challenging part for me, but watching this video made me relax a little bit. wish me, well guys.

Interviewer: "So tell me about yourself" Me: "Well...I was born at an early age..."

He is like my Father giving me a detailed instructions and inspirations coming from his heart,that's why i love this video.

I just watched this right before my interview and guess what???? Interview that takes maximum 10 minutes for all before me took about 30 minutes when I entered. It turned out to be a conversation between them and I. They actually asked how much of a notice I need to give to my employers before I quit. I think I got the job 🕺🕺🕺

Few months have passed by since I last saw this, and I got what I wanted !!! I'm here to thank you, good sir. May you get all the best things in life. MILLION THANKS.

6:42 I've never worried about my Grandma during an interview.

In brief, you have to convince them that they need you not you need them... 😊 You aren't only an English teacher but a life teacher too...👍

Got the job!! Thank you so much, I’ve failed many interviews before and every one of them asked this question. After watching this video and using it in my next one, got an offer the same day. Amazing advice!!

The way you start and end the answer was amazing. Another thing, You cover many perspective in your answer. Thank you so much for helping us!

I like this guy. English is not my first Language but he speak very clearly

Thank you for your practical advices. This has been a question I never knew how to answer and as a consequence I realize clearly why I failed so many job interviews.

interviewer: tell me about yourself Me: You tell me

Hey! I watched your videos several times before I go for my interview. Today, I got the call saying: You are accepted for the traineeship position. Thank you.

This video said a lot (not the joke), I really enjoyed watching it, the presenter made it clear ... formal & informal

Got the job just because of watching your videos!!!There were 2 rounds and I just got the appointment letter now!Thank You!!!

I follow this channel now for a month and this guy is a real teacher. So well spoken..

I'm now fully prepared for this janitorial position

Interviewer: tell me about yourself Me: pass

I think I can't find good teacher better than you.... ALLAH BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.... A BUNDLE OF THANKS

Hiring Manager: Tell me about yourself Tommy Shelby: Have you ever been to France?

when you introduced yourself I was clapping for you man

This is the second of several of your videos I planned to watch in preparation for an upcoming interview. I must admit that your information isn't JUST for interviews. Your tips for the 'TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF' question are applicable everywhere. I learned more in a few minutes here than I did in a weekend at the library. Thanks again.

The example he gives at the end for anyone that needs it (obviously change it to match your own experience and the role you've applied for). I would describe myself as someone who is versatile and determined and someone who loves learning. I am creative, open minded, easy going and I enjoy working with others. I try to use all these qualities in my professional life. For the last 6 years, I have been working at (insert company name here). I started out at the help-desk where I worked closely with clients and I built some good relationships. After that I did a number of roles in the company and have been promoted several times. Now for the last 3 years I have been working as a project manager. The company has been pretty successful and I’d like to think that I contributed to that success. My team has been developing accounting software for the publishing industry and within 2 years, we’ve come from nowhere to being the number one product in the field. Actually, I wasn’t looking for a new job as I am quite happy where I am and I came across your job advertisement by accident. But I really captivated my imagination. Your company is renowned for being one of the most innovative in the sector. I know this might be a more senior role than my current position, but I do have the skills, experience and the passion you need. I do believe I can make a positive impact and that is why I am here today. In a nutshell that is who I am as a professional and when I’m not working I like to go hiking on the weekends and I like reading books.

Thanks, I got the job. This was my second interview! Frankly, it didn't went that way strictly. He just saw that I love to work with software (I'm a civil engineer) from the first question and we started talking about that and the current state of BIM and Hydrology studies. The conversation was really good and fluent, having this conversational basis helped me alot!. Thank you!

OMG. In the final example, you totally nailed it. I got a huge idea about how to start & how to end. Thank you so much. Keep teaching us with these.

I'm watching this right now as I have a phone call interview this evening. This episode really turns me on and I'm working on reorganizing my self-introduction. Big thanks from China. Great day and good luck to myself : )

I watched all your videos on interview and I got the job. The first interview got me the job. Thank you. Your channel brings luck! I think it's your confidence, humor, and playful attitude overall. On interview I looked laid back, positive, and asked them only one question - "what's your company's vision?" They said they fell in love with me ))) Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I watch heaps of your videos last night and had my interview this morning. And guess what, I GOT THE JOB!!!! After 100 plus resume sent online and 20 unsuccessful interviews!!Thanks so much! May you continue to inspire and help everyone! 🙏☺️❤️

Perfect teacher!

Hiring Manager: Tell me about yourself Alfie Salomons: I know what I know, right, if you don’t know, you dont fucking know, do ya?

The BEST example by far of how to respond to this question!! Thank you!

I have an interview in an hour, and binge watching your videos to help with nerves. They're so helpful!

I got hired! I downloaded your video, watched it on the day before the interview and a few minutes before that too. Thank you!

2 minutes top chrono, his example speech.. Nice and brief

You are my best tutor ever. I have learned numbers of missing points that i have been misunderstood for ages. Big thank.

This example is so smooth and blends the personal and professional soooo well!

Beautifully described .. I hope I can use this one

i'm looking for a ojt and i've interviewed several times but i always cause i'm prepared to answer their question and this week i'm going to have an interview again. so, i search on how to answer some commom questions like this. you know it this video really helps me. and i think with the help of this video i can answer their questions with confident eventhough english isn't my native language. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and helping others, like me, on answering question like this.

Whole video is very informative but those who are in hurry skip to 08:08

Wow, what an amazing example of how to answer "tell us about yourself" question. Thank you.

Exactly this question has been my worst nightmare for over three years. One day I finally proceeded to convince myself to go to one competition in english conversation and this was the very first thing that they had asked me about. I'll tell you this, I failed it miserably. Thank you pal, the video has helped me a lot, especially the part when you are showing us an example on how to solve this. I'm just hoping that this shit is never going to happen to me again :D.

Thank you for the video! I just got a job as an ESL online teacher and I did exactly as you advised us and it worked for me! Thank you so much! :)

Of all videos I have watched, this is the only one that makes sense. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your video. I have gone for so many interviews and I never got a call back but the one I went for last week actually called back to offer me the job! They said that they really feel as if the students can benefit from me and it’s all because I have kept in mind everything you have said in your video. Thank you sooo much again!!!

Love your advice! I always hated the “tell me about yourself” question but now I have a better idea on how to answer it. Thank you!!

That was an outstanding video! The example answer at the end gave me a good sense of what needs to be said and about how much time to say it. Thank you!

"What would you like to know?" was my answer to that silliest of all silly questions. I'm old and retired now, but in my mind it is still a silly question.

Great video! One of the best, most relaxed responses I've seen to this question. It shows how much time you really have to cover the topic, provide examples and include some color to keep your answer natural and effective.

Tomorrow a have an interview, in english ! I listen to your video several times. I did't memorise the answer by I started to speak about myself home alone :)) I know I don't have a good english, I am rather afraid, but at least is not my mother tongue, so I try to be more confident. Now i'm practicing my english by writing you a comment. Hello from Romania ! You are a great teacher ! You motivate me to improve my english. I don't give up !

I’m 15 2 years away from getting a job and I’ve been reviewing lots of advice for a the future job I want and your tips where very helpful I took notes on this thank you so much!! God bless you

Good job man. You know how to distill the information to the essentials. Thanks for the lesson...

This is one of the best I have seen. Clearly explained. Thank you.

GREAT LESSON !!!! THANK YOU !!!

While told by others trying to be a salesperson to sell yourself to the employer, what is refreshing in this video is that we are told that we have to be/try to be attractive in the conversation.
