JOB INTERVIEW QUESTION: Tell me about yourself 

Hi! I am an HR and opinions may differ from practices of one company to another. Still, allow me to share some points that we look for when we interview applicants. Hope this can be helpful to fresh graduates. "Tell me about yourself" Very much used phrase talaga ito, conversation starter kumbaga. It's good for a candidate to share how skillset can be of contribution to a company when they are asked of this question, but A LOT also prefer those who share about their family/personal background, their struggles before achieving their highest educ attainment, their hobbies, interest etc. for we can have a glimpse what kind of personality this specific person has.. not to mention ito kadalasan yung mga sagot na hindi rehearsed.. 😅 Believe me, we know it kapag praktisado at may script ang sagot. Skillset is a big plus, but personality is still the most assessed before anything else lalo na sa mga fresh graduates. Gasgas na pero eto talaga yun. Knowledge and capabilities shall follow. Sometimes HR asks about how you were in school. Member ka ba ng school orgs? (Yes is a plus kasi may experience na to handle tasks and responsibilities which is very usual sa actual work set up) Anong role mo sa thesis mo? Alam mo ba ang konsepto nito? Kung taga luto lang ng pancit canton mahirap yan, kapatid. Lalo na kung competition yung role. Bottomline is, 1/4 ng interview questions, mappractice mo but majority of it ay spontaneous talaga at nagsasanga-sanga lang depende topic, so you can never really come up with an answer na perfectly structured. Just answer lang from the heart at paglaanan din ng oras praktisin ang composure during interview. Nakaka mental block ang sobrang kaba. Good luck, freshies!

who's here because of your job interview in immersion?

1 month ago, sobrang kabado pa ko sa job interview ko para maging engineer. Tamang desisyon na naisipan kong manuod sa youtube at mapadpad sa channel na to. Dumating yung initial interview, confident ako nung matapos hanggang sa umabot ako ng final interview grabe ayun talaga ang mahirap kasi dalawa na lang kami at isa lang ang makukuha, pero alam kong may chance ako at malaki rin ang chance nung kasabay ko. in the end parehas kaming nakuha haha. time flies, naka isang buwan na rin pala ko dito and so far so good. Thank you so much sa channel na to! eto yung isa sa nagbigay sakin ng bala at confidence nung interview ko.

Job interview is a must to all , no one could be hired without interview or even a panel interview . Strongly agree .

Love you Teacherella! You’re not even from the HR industry but you nailed it. Such a big help! 😘

Thanks for the info , I'm having interview this coming March 27 . I hope I can do it.

Thank you for making this video, I learn a lot.

I was asked to make a 15 min vid of "Tell me about yourself", my question is should i really make it 15 mins? (i mean kahit ano pong gawin ko hndi kaya ng 15mins talk) 😭. I'm applying as Executive Assistant and/ Admin assistant to a US company. Just couldn't figure how can i make it possible. I think it is better to cut my self introduction short but all related and useful than to make it reach 15 mins full of cyclical and unrelated stories. Pls advise me? its due the next day. Thank u po ❤

i am applying as of now interview ko bukas godbless sakin learened a lot from this video 🙂

Thank you teacherella 😊 it helps alot for me, cause i have an interview tomorrow 😍 more power to your vlogs 😁 I LOVE YOU 😘❤️

Sa lahat ng nadaanan kong vlogs related sa job interviews, ito lang yung simple pero klaro.. yung ibang vlogs mag eexplain hindi direct sumagot, the way sila mag explain yung sarili nila mismo ang iniexample e hindi naman tayo pare pareho ng utak

First time !.mapanuod npaka helpful po ng knowledge na binigay nyo para sa mga new applicant like me 😊 kudos po !

Thank you so much maam, may interview po ako in 4 hrs. And big help po ang video nyo po. God bless you po...

I have an interview for OJT in Monday, I hope this helps me, Thank you ma'am. I'll update if I passed! (I shall pass hehe) 😁

Ginawa ko yan. Pero dito sa abroad iba ang way nila. Need nila dito sabihin mo talaga ang about sa self mo as in. Family mag ask din 2-3 times na ako na ask at if pang ilan ka at hobbies mo. Kaya nagulat din ako. Kala ko ano dapat maambag ko. So I think case to case basis pa din.

thank you so much dmi ko nkuha for 1st timer❤️

Thank you I needed this for an interview for a school

My job interview ako bukas, wish me luck guys!

Thank you so much for tips teacherella

Hi teacherella, ask ko lng Po Kung ano pinaka best na response about halimabawa graduate Ng teaching education ngunit ngayon gusto ko Muna ma enrich Ang experiences dahil sa Hindi pa ready to teach permanently. I want to grow and gain various experiences instead of focusing on teaching only. And my way is to find a job that is not related to my course. Pano Kung itanong nng interviewer, if you still wanted to go back in teaching. And then my answer is yes. They might conclude that I wouldn't stay longer in their company. What would the best response for this question?
