Watch Don show you exactly how to answer "Tell Me About Yourself."
This is one of the very first videos I created, and as you can see I'm a little more tense than in my current videos, but the content is still relevant today.
Tell me about yourself is one of the toughest interview questions. This is an open-ended question, but really what the interviewer wants to hear is about your recent work experience and your journey that brought you to this point in your career. Why don't they just ask that question instead? Because they want to see where you will go with an open-ended question. Your answer to "tell me about yourself" tells the interviewer where your mind is. If you start telling him that you are a Cleveland Browns fan, then you are way off base with what he wants to hear and you have just made your first mistake.
What do you want the interviewer to know about you when you leave, your work experience or your personal interests? I'm confident their hiring decision will be based on your work experience, save your personal interests for the water cooler after you get the job.
#tellmeaboutyourself #interviewanswerexample
Best answer to tell me about yourself:
1. "What part of my work experience would you like me to talk about?"
a. Now the interviewer can reply with a simple straightforward answer. Some interviewers want you to start from your first job and others only want to hear about your most recent job.
b. If the interviewer would like you to start from your first job, assuming it has been several years since you had that job, then lightly touch on the jobs that you no longer hold, but expand on your current or most recent job experience and accomplishments.
Focus on your answer and talk about your accomplishments from your current or most recent job and lightly touch on your daily duties. These are the things an interviewer really wants to hear. Because if he thinks you were successful at your past job, then you will be successful at this job. Even if you don't feel that you accomplished anything, look deep and think of something you did that helped the company. Or better yet, describe an accomplishment that you contributed to the company, just make sure it's in the same line of work.
If you have been interviewing for jobs and not getting second interviews, it's likely that you have been giving a wrong answer to this question.

Too bad for the people who are not good at answering questions but have the ability to do the job and good attitude to the people. Why they just don't look at the resume instead of the person's ability to give the answer which pleased the interviewer. Not everybody has the ability to give the best answer but once they are on the job they are very good and hard worker.

@srubio9817 5 лет назад

@nerissamartinez3669 5 лет назад

@mostafakhadr5640 5 лет назад

same for me, I'm too bad when it comes to speaking yet I do believe I'm qualified.. I'm an Egyptian fresh graduate electrical power engineer and it's quite sensitive field, I got accepted in my first two jobs But after laying out terms and conditions I found these weren't suitable for me at all.. and the third interview was a decent one but guess what they never talked to me back.

Don, thank you so much for all your tips and advice. After months of interviews at several companies, I finally landed a great job with a big, established investment bank thanks to your videos. To everyone else reading: pay close attention to what he says, take notes because it is proven. Don's advice helped me out so much more than any other video on the topic.

@thetamiakisrex_xxx5217 11 лет назад

Hi George - I've been struggling for 6 months to get a job. I'm a highly experienced people manager but I just couldn't get past interview stage. It hadn't occurred to me to try RU-vid, but I did & I found you. I watched your videos, took notes, wrote scripts, rehearsed out loud for 3 solid days before an interview with another company. Nailed it! I start on Monday & this is a perfect job with a great company. I'm ecstatically happy. Thank you a thousand times!

Yes, Don is absolutely right. Based on his videos, I started preparing my answer (wrote down) to the possible interview questions. "Tell me about a situation in ur previous job where you had to go above and beyond...." seems like a very popular question. I just finished OJT with the company and very happy to be a part of it. Don's videos were really helpful, thank you again Don.

@Fzoulcmbyl1 10 лет назад

Just once, I'd like to see someone do a video where the "right" answers are not all "Sales and Service" related. If you want to hire someone to save you money and increase revenue, then you interview "Sales", "Marketing", and "Business Manager" types who have that background and job experience. The big problem is that employers are using the same structured questions for the janitor, copy/mailroom guy, and computer tech ( example from the video ). Those guys shouldn't be worrying about how to save your business money or increase revenue, there is specific education and job experience for just that purpose.

@edcastillo6066 7 лет назад

lmao ur right

@bubbleglass 7 лет назад

There is definitely some truth to that...

@eumaeus 7 лет назад

not at all. if anything lying will get you dismissed and potentially in court. instead, be prepared, that's the key. the interview is to find out more about you as an individual and whether you with fit in with the company's ethos. additionally it's an opportunity to seek clarification (by both parties). remember your application has got you to the interview; now sell yourself.

@alexmag5735 7 лет назад

Mark Lee What are you talking about? We all know car mechanics and electricians who perfectly sell themself. Unfortunately they are quite useless at their workplace. Why do you wanna work with us? The truth is for the money. The truth is people don't care about your company They just sent 1000 resumes everywhere but they do not have freedom to tell truth because HR just a barrier to get the job. The problem is that complex questions important for CEO position asked even if you looking for the process worker or cleaner job. Selling yourself telling nothing about professional level. Thiat's why we have very nice people at their workplaces and they still selling themselves instead of doing their job. Because all they can do very well - selling themselves. Sorry my English grammar.

@eumaeus 7 лет назад

Well what a well crafted reply. I'll not mention TWO previous students one who worked for a London University, the other a global pharmaceutical who were dismissed for providing false claims of education and then taken to court over this. I'll leave you to it if you're so sensitive about the information you provide and are not able to accept supporting statements from others.

@DonGeorgevich 10 лет назад

Some of my videos are answers that are read from the Complete Interview Answer Guide and that is by design to show what is in the guide, but most of my videos are read free style with me actually answering the question off the top of my head. see for yourself - just visit my RU-vid Channel: dgeorgevich and look through my most popular videos.

@randywooden1 10 лет назад

Too much info to dispense in that first question. Make the answer no longer than 30 seconds. The employer isn't ready to hear a long and detailed answer. They're more concerned with how you speak, your body language, etc.

How do you answer this question if you're making a career change from an industry and with a degree that's not relevant and maybe even too advanced for the job? Let's suppose leaving out the degree you achieved would leave too many questions unanswered like "what did you do in this time?" because you left a part or fulltime job to focus on finishing your degree.

I wasn't helping people for money or doing something else to get experience, I just focused on school. I just think that all these videos about "Tell me about yourself" seem mostly pointless because they focus mostly on past employment and that doesn't apply to most of the viewers.

+clairebare8705 no dont introduce yourself to the person hiring you

@patriotgirl3163 6 лет назад

Tashie Snower ***Tashie, I just saw this and wanted to respond to you with my opinion. One could say don't introduce yourself to the interviewer b/c they already know you are coming in and have your application. I totally understand that. But let me say this... Although they do know you have an appointment to interview, I feel it would be good etiquette to formally introduce yourself and shake the person(s) hand(s). Last point - my son is an actor. As he was entering his career he was chosen for a NASCAR commercial with Jeff Gordon. As he got on set Mr. Gordon walked up to my son, extended his hand and said, 'Hi Josh. I'm Jeff Gordon." Impressive. All the actors who he has worked with, who are well known do the same. All I am saying is maybe you were selected for the interview from your application/resume and talked on the phone but you haven't met them in person.... That's my opinion. I would do it. Hope you get the job you desire.

Good advice! Frequently when I being asked about this,indirectly I managed to respond the interviewers that if I were known the real me,I would not be before them.-ve isn't this!

I always thought that "Tell me about you" was in regards of what kind of person you are. But it is focused on your education and work experience... does that mean that the company has no idea about me? That they have not bothered to read my CV and they need me to explain it?... I can understand that they want to see how I articulate and explain my career so far but it seems unfair that I have to do all the research and be expected to know everything about the company beforehand and they can just sit back and throw at me "Tell me about yourself" Well, I sent you my CV didn't I? Anyway, I just really dislike this position of power they hold. Interviews should be of equal individuals, not like the company is doing a favour to the candidate, but like a mutually beneficial work relationship, where both sides know each other and appreciate each other at the same level.

@aliceOcean938 7 лет назад

Chiquicat i agree 100%. :)

@EpicStays 5 лет назад

I agree with you. Soo act exactly like that. If that interview doesnt work out, go to another one and another one till you find someone who is mutually respective.

what happens if youre really good at selling yourself, you went back to college and at a University pursuing a bachelors in mass media comm, but for the past four years youve done nothing but work at crappy dead end pizza delivery or resteraunt type jobs where you really have zero interest and have nothing to do with the film and t.v industry you eventually want to end up in. I have no real note worthy achievements just yet, and honestly feel like ive wasted tooo much of life at crappy dead end jobs that just served to pay bills, and be flexible with school schedule. anyone in similar cases please help!. lol

@richroyalty8811 7 лет назад

the employer sees multitasking, a willingness to work and they see a responsible person that appreciates work.BTW you did well congrats on having a job and studying a the same time.

Make up and move to a very far place so that they won't even bother to communicate with your ex company

we all do. i encourage you to look deeper.

@thomasbrenton5304 7 лет назад

I am a failure. there's no deeper. what do I do?

@blownspeakersss 7 лет назад

Thomas Brenton Don't listen to this video. We don't all have real achievements (at least not the kind interviewers give a shit about) -- especially at younger ages. You are not a failure, but I'd encourage you to try to push towards a goal in order to achieve something. Work on a project, pursue a skill, etc.

@bray614 9 лет назад

It upsets me greatly that interviewers use trick and misleading questions. Such as, tell me about yourself. Tell me what you didn't or dont like about your current or last job. It upsets me greatly that they judge you because you are nerves and confused by their unclear and misleading question's. They should ask tell me about your last or current or just job experience. The second question should never be brought up,because they dont want to hear anything negative. Lets all be honest there is always someone or something, we dont like about the job we have or had. If you say something negative in a interview you wont get the job, so there asking you to lie which denotes lack of good morals. That is why in self imployed.

@vladimirvandyke5110 7 лет назад

Don is reading his script from some sort of teleprompt above camera. That is not comforting at all.

@DonGeorgevich 7 лет назад

yes, don is reading from a prompter. had to do it with the older videos while I was overcoming my own nervousness with making videos. its a huge learning curve.
