Another simple way to answer this question is to use the formula: EES E: Education.............Tell them your name and the institution your attended, your course, your grade and additional training which you have acquired such as HSE, PMP, ICAN etc E: Experience............Tell them your experience so far...this could include your Industrial training, NYSC experience and current experience if any. Skills:.......................Tell them about your skills: this could be proficient use of softwares, Microsoft office suite, negotiations, marketing etc ( However, highlight skills that are relevant to the position) 11 Likes 1 Share |

LaurelP: You've got no previous work experience Therefore you cannot be talking about accepting more challenges, if this work is about to be your first post-nysc experience But nice intro sha |

MKO4ever: Not true. If you served as an Admin Officer during Nysc, you can definitely talk abt accepting more challenges. If not how will u be able to convince them u can do more dan just any other recent graduate. I've come to realize dat one of d most reasons why ppl fail interviews is becos they are usually too modest with their answers. They doubt their ability to deliver on the job in their mind and dis affects their answers to questions. |

This is a very tricky question which many people fail to understand not to talk of interpreting. Everything about you is already on your CV but what the interviewer wants to hear is what you didn't write there and how to communicate it. 2 Likes |

I think i can provide a little bit of help here.... Just a breakdown To effectively answer the “Tell Me About Yourself” question, your response should be broken into five categories. Recent professional achievements Educational achievements Applicable skills Professional goals Reason for interest in the company Always avoid telling your life story or irrelevant things.... Note: "Tell me about yourself" should be short/simple and say more about you.... |
