A Tricky Question–“Tell Me About Yourself?”
During an interview, just to warm you up and make you feel comfortable, the interviewer may ask a question “Tell about yourself?” This question seems like very harmless but at the same time, this is the question which can be the deciding point either you should be selected or not.
Mostly people, when they are asked this question during an interview, start sharing the personal information. And here they goes. The employer does not mean to ask about your social security number or place of birth. He might be referring to you, your family and other such related things. Now if you really select to answer the question in this pattern, you are going to lose the chance of getting that particular job, because your answer is absolutely incorrect.
Usually the sneaky kind of employers use this information against you. The best answer of this question is, that you tell the employer about your education and institute, then about your previous experiences and then about your future plans.
If any employer gives you a strange expression after getting this reply and asks you to give some personal information, you may select to answer the employer that actually they need a person in their human resource department who can guide them according to law that asking such questions may create big problems.
It is always advisable to answer such questions tactfully, so that in the end you do not feel or fear to lose the job.
