The reason for this question is that interviewers want to get a feel for how you communicate about yourself. Think of this as your verbal first impression. It’s an opportunity to showcase your talents and experiences.
Here are four ways to ensure an effective answer:
First, what makes you exceptional? Are you good at building relationships? Utilizing technology to the company’s benefit? This is one of the most important interview preparation tips because if you can show that you’re the type of person who goes beyond what your role is, you’ll be sure to impress.
The second important aspect of good tell me about yourself interview answers is confidence. Be confident in a way that shows how you’ve contributed to your past companies. If you focus on the company’s goals and how you helped to achieve them, it will show your value without coming off as boastful.
Third, make sure you have measurable examples of whatever you choose to talk about. If you attracted quality talent, you can show how a certain percentage moved on to management positions. Speak in concrete, measurable facts.
The last part of a good answer is to keep it short and sweet. Don’t start too far back in your history, as it will only detract from the things that really matter.
Good tell me about yourself interview answers don’t stray from the value you bring. Use these interview preparation tips and you’ll make this question an opportunity rather than a hurdle.
