How To Answer ''Tell Us About Yourself'' When A Recruiter Asks You by nmreports: 8:03am On Feb 26, 2017 |
''Can we meet you'' or "Tell Us About Yourself" for me, is one of the most important interview question ever. Its an opportunity for you to succinctly describe: 1. Who you are. 2. Your work ethics and what you stand for. 3. Your passion and possibilities on the job. 4. Most importantly, why you are the best person for the job. Recognizing this opportunity however does not give you the ticket to start talking about your life history. You should be smart enough to speak strongly about those things that are most important in other to engage the recruiter and not bore him or her with stories of your life. This can guide you too. How To Act At Job Interviews: http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/09/how-to-act-during-job-interviews.html I remember the last time I went for an interview for a different role in my organization and I was asked this question. I had rehearsed the question at home many times because somehow I suspected it was going to come up. I had prepared documents to show proof of why I was actually interested and interviewing for the role. I had gone with an arsenal of what I am currently doing to show my passion, steps taken and I ensured that I communicated it strongly to the recruiter. Leaning forward and looking into his eyes when I was asked about it. For a new graduate, focus on your personal strength and skills. Sometimes mentioning what you are currently doing in terms of professional courses or ongoing skill development or leadership positions you have taken may help. So something like this should be fine: Recruiter: Trust me, this should be good but the way and manner you pass this message across as well as your gestures will make a whole lot of difference. Can someone tell us what has been successfully done with this response? Source: www.HRtechnique.com 44 Likes 13 Shares

columbus007:Yea it is funny, but sadly, true. Some people will have no clue at all what you are writing, they just copy everything, especially when they want to do it so fast that they may not be caught cheating. Imagine you cramming that and when you are asked the question, you say "My name is Femi" when your name is actually Soji. 5 Likes 1 Share |
