In this video, I give the best answer to the job interview question "tell me about yourself". This is the best way I've ever seen to answer the "tell me about yourself" interview question. I also give a sample example answer to this question. This is applicable to both a fresh graduate, as well as a professional with years of experience.

Tell Me About Yourself | Best Answer (from former CEO):
This is my first video in my series on Getting Hired. I will be exploring all the common job interview questions, including "tell me about yourself" - the most common job interview question - usually used as the icebreaker at the beginning of every job interview. Please see the other videos in my "Get Hired" playlist for more tips.
One of the most common interview questions, there are many forms of this question:
Tell me about yourself.
Tell me something about yourself.
Read more about Job Interviews: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_int...
There is a big difference between what you learn in business school, and what you need to know in the real world - just ask any startup founder or business owner! My goal is to focus on the real-world aspects of business, giving practical tips and tricks that are not usually covered in school.
This channel is a platform to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. It is also to help the world at large to be more effective and successful. The world can certainly use more inspiring leaders, more successful entrepreneurs, and more capable managers - that is what I would like to help bring about.
Who Am I?
I am a practicing management consultant, former CEO, and entrepreneur. I have led many businesses to success, as well as several startups. Among other things, I have a master's degree in finance.
I have worked across five industries, and have worked in both large enterprise and small businesses. In the last five years, I have also been mentoring startup founders and teaching business at a post-graduate level.
Why I Want To Involve My Community:
The only way this channel will succeed is with YOUR help. In order to know how best to proceed, I need constant feedback from YOU. What topics should I cover? What challenges are you facing? What questions do you have? What changes should I make?
Please contact me with questions, and I will try my best to help. Best of luck!
Why I Need Your Help:
It is also very important to me that this channel be financially independent, and not be sustained by corporate sponsors. That way, I can be objective and honest, without having to serve interested parties, or disguise promotions as “advice”. My professional reputation is very important to me. I will invest the money raised back into the video making process. Your support will allow me to continue producing videos on a regular basis, and with increasing quality and usefulness.
Thank you for being here and reading this, and have yourself an amazing day!
-Bill "The Companies Expert"

I was interviewed when I applied for the Illinois State Police, back in ‘84, by the district commander, a lieutenant, and the senior master sergeant, who sat behind me where I could not see him. It was a very long interview, technically an interrogation, since they asked many probing questions about my personal life. The final thing asked was “Where do you see yourself in twenty years?”, by the district commander; I told him that I intended to be in his job by then. An idiotic thing to say. I found out later that that answer was the single thing that decided the interview, because though the district commander didn’t like the answer, the lieutenant, and the master sergeant, who was silent the entire time, convinced the district commander that if I had the guts to be that honest, they needed to approve me. As it turned out, many years later I retired from that same district as the senior master sergeant.
@cavalieroutdoors6036
@cavalieroutdoors6036 Год назад
I would think that would be the perfect answer. If I were that high up in the chain, I'd be looking for the person that's going to be my replacement. At some point I'd want to retire, and I would want to know the district is going to be in good hands. I wouldn't want to hire people that are just OK with stagnating and staying at the same low to middle level their entire career. It may be OK for some hires, but you also need the go-getters that want to step up and take more responsibility as time goes on.

I wanted to transfer to a different unit in the military. Normally it’s simply a case of whether there is an open spot with your job title but I had made a mistake recently that the new commander had heard about. They requested an interview and when asked about the mistake and why they should choose me, I told them because I had grounded the aircraft myself over a very minor mistake that no one would have ever known about that all of my peers would have ignored. I told them my greatest strength was my integrity. They agreed and signed my transfer on the spot.
@shanequastunningbrave5376
@shanequastunningbrave5376 Год назад
What they were looking for was the subtext of I'll follow any order from above and rationalise it as "doing my job" or "just following orders" irrespective of the legality, constitution or morality. By answering "in his job" you signalled that you'd do whatever is asked of you so as to rise through the ranks, which is how he got there himself.

Last year I was interviewed for a managerial job at Dick's Sporting goods, I used this technique with the hiring manager. It was painfully obvious that the hiring manager hadn't read my resume or cover letter at all. On top of that he was fifteen minutes late for the interview. I started off using this technique but ended up explaining my entire history to him and by the end of the interview I realized I was radically over qualified for the job. I was invited back for another interview but I felt like the management wasn't organized nor did they take their potential employees time seriously. Oddly the hiring manager being so poorly organized he saved me by making me realize I would never want to work for that company, ever.

The problem with conducting interviews is that you end up hiring someone who is good at interviews, as opposed to someone who is actually good at the given job. Interviews are actually counterproductive to the given goal and will result in HORRIBLE hires. Instead you should give them a task related to the job they will be doing and see how they perform.

@Mark-wd5zb

I prefer an employer ask me to show previous work that I've done that would relate to the current position. For me, I have ZERO interest in putting in work for someone who has not hired me. If you want me to complete a task for you, pay me for it. Because bottom line is, you might have two candidates who both complete that task for your masterfully. And then you have to choose only one candidate. For me to do amazing work for you, ultimately to not get hired for reasons I will never find out, is of no interest to me. It's a huge waste of my time.
@jlh4jc

If you just ask the standard boilerplate interview questions, then yes. Using a targeted selection interview process forces even the best interview to think on his/her feet. It helps with the "show me" part of whether this candidate can do the job.

@sheshotjfk8375 Год назад
@@Mark-wd5zb That's not what I'm talking about. I don't mean working for them for free. I mean something simple that only takes a few minutes. Fore example. When I interviewed for a sales job the manager asked me to sell him a pen. Two minutes later he couldn't hire me fast enough. Or lets say I'm hiring an artist. I might ask him to draw me a cartoon Pig. That only takes a minute or two but tells me everything I need to know. I don't care if he is good at answering questions. That's not what the job is. I only care if he can draw. No matter how many questions I ask him, that won't tell me if he can draw. But most people would interview the artist and ask him a lot of questions and then hire the person that answers the questions the best. That makes not sense and you end up with employees that can't do the work.

As someone with Asperger's, it's really difficult to understand the grey area, even with questions that SOUND simple enough to answer. Employers these days need to drop this concept and start thinking about meeting the IQ level of the jobseeker in order to hire their skills. Things need to be black and white, no hidden meanings, first time, every time to eliminate the waste of time with confusion. I'm so glad that you actually explain things in a more black and white clear crystal clarity.

I like the sports team analogy. Consider this, I was interviewed for a special education position. I was asked about my administrative license and if I would do that. I mentioned that, for myself, I wouldn't want to switch teaching states and be a new administrator. I believe one or the other, but both may be difficult simulaneously. One of the interviewers was a first year administrator from out of state. They ended the interview and that person walked me to the door. I was okay with that for the following reason: Would I want someone so petty being my supervisor? I know the market is tough, but sometimes it is important to be thankful for the jobs that you don't get.

This is incredible. You have re-created my perception of how to respond to such common questions when looking for a job or changing jobs. I completely agree with you, especially in the area of trying to bring the conversation during interviews back to the job you're looking for, because the circumstances of your previous job role and action may not be applicable today, given the disruption that digitalization has caused. Yes, your experience is important, but the reality of the job at hand should take precedence. Thank you very much.

Brilliant. Been to many interviews over the years and this is great advice. The only time I knew I was not going to get the job early on in the interview was when the interviewer scanned my CV and said "Hmm you've got more qualifications than I have." Difficult to get out of that one. Later I worked in UK for a large government organisation and the management decided they wanted everybody to list all their major qualifications on their email signatures. It lasted a week. Many senior managers were embarrassed by learning how qualified their teams were compared to them - I know qualifications are not everything but this was priceless as everyone benefits from a little humility every now and then.

The US school system has been more about mental conditioning than teaching for a while now. I was homeschooled for 2~ hours a day up to about 15, and from there I started working in construction with my brother. The only thing school did for me was teach me the fundamentals of math and language (which are both language, really). Everything else I did in school, if I wasn't interested in it, flew right back out of my head when I was done. The fundamentals of language are used to apply more focused learning in subjects of interest, and almost everything I've learned on top of said language has come from direct experience and/or independent research.
