Urgent!!!
Please experienced naira landers, what is the best way to answer this question? How much or how little information about yourself should be divulged? Under how many seconds/minutes?
Thank you

also waiting for replies

I answered it here: https://www.nairaland.com/3651114/how-answer-tell-us-yourself

This is one question that can be likened to an elevator speech. That 30 seconds window you have to sell your product or make a point.

When you are able to answer this question properly, you are 50% away from the second interview.

When an interviewer asks the question ‘Can we meet you’, you should take it up as a real opportunity to wow them with your answer. Wow-ing does not mean you being to speak in too candid or animated a fashion, but rather just speaking very lucidly and speaking in good English. After glancing through your CV they probably want to meet you in person to see if you fit the bill, so you should try your best to impress them

Mmmmmmmm

sad face

Ensure you come in with an aura that eliminates the need for that question.

But if it does come, I go this way,

I'm NwaAmaikpe NwaAroOkeigbo,
A thriving man with a penchant for precision and excellence.
I'm #&years old, presently married and pursuing a Doctorate degree in Metaphysics.

I've got diverse professional work experience ranging from Literary work criticism, to Social Media commenting, to Architectural practice, to Strategic Management in various financial institutions and a brief stinct in lecturing.



Just make sure you leave them with a 'wow' in their mouth

cannot type much

NwaAmaikpe:

this dude is the only reason I open nairaland these days

This is a naija journalist question, not an interview- doesn't make sense one bit

Tell us about yourself is the interview question

Yes I'm Alhaji Dan Baba Dr of science from lokogoma LGA

You can start by telling the listener your name, LGA, State of origin, Religion, Educational qualifications and marital status. The person should ask further if other information is needed.

Mhhh!! Mhh!!! *** Clear throat***

My name is.....I have a master's degree in....A bachelor's degree in.... I have worked several years as a/an...... {mention the title of the job eg account officer Credit control officer etc}

in all this roles, I have proven to be effective, efficient, and a wonderful performer...

Based on the role that I am being interviewed to day, I believe you are looking for someone that can do { you mention two or three major job description on what they were looking for} that will make them know you know what it was that they wanted....

Then you went ahead to say that you have a combined skills and experience for it...{remember to swallow some spit..because that's when the real interview begins} short and sweet

"Can we meet?" simply means "can we know you", you are expected to introduce yourself to them.
