How to Answer "Tell Me About Yourself" Interview Question - 5 Key Tips and Example Response | Indeed

Interviewer: Why do you want to work for us? Me: To pay the bills

I never liked interviews because I always thought It was like acting and I felt very uncomfortable. However, this tips showed me some different perspective: Be human, keep it as a conversation, a professional and pleasant one.

What about those of us that don't HAVE previous experiences?? 😐😑😒

This is literally the best video I've seen on interview prep and I've been searching for 30 minutes. It provides enough structure and an outline on what to do.

Very interesting. Can you believe until today I’ve thought for decades the answer to this question was all about my personal life and hobbies 🤣.

Thank you for making such a concise guide to this question. It was previously a stumbling block in a job interview, and now I feel better prepared going into my next interview. Best of luck to others who are preparing for interviews. It can be stressful, but with a bit of preparation we can do it!

I was laid off last year due to *pandemic*, trying to brush up on my interview skills after a whole year just trying not to go crazy. This just seems so ehh~~. I just wanna work, I hope they just ask me "When can you start, sunny?"

Why do all these video assume we all lead projects and have 10 years of experience

Both my 23 year old son and my 64 year young self are both in the position for looking for new jobs. For both of us the process can be very stressful and your video has been very helpful, so thank you so much for breaking the Interview process down and explaining it clearly. I took notes for both of us and this should help us be more prepared.

I love how straightforward & interesting this answer was to tell me about yourself.

Really you bring a smile of confidence just before my interview as a teacher.. thank you

Thanks for these tips Jenn, it all make sense and these are really great tips!

This question stumps me every time. I find myself rambling on. Even though I know it is coming, I always feel like it catches me off guard. Thank you for putting this up, I am currently trying to land a new role. I was able to write down and craft my answers in the format she suggested. Thank you, again! I appreciate it very much.

I'm so sick of the performativity of the professional sphere. The fake smiles, stuffy outfits, and rehearsed greetings and questions. It just feels so hollow. You want to know about me? I need a job. Do I have questions about the business? Not really. I couldn't care less about the company mission statements that were conceived by a committee of out of touch Execs. You want to know the truth about me? You don't want truth. You want a sleekly constructed fabrication of a person that gestures towards vague notions of "professionalism." I look at the recommended video section, and all I see are smiling talking heads, starring blankly forward with nothing of real importance to say. This is all just a little song and dance to put the master at ease, to let him know that we're their kind of people. It reeks of two faced intention, and a lack of any meaningful human connection. I'm just so tired of this.

i give you your flowers as a coach watching this video till 9:28; you mentioned a rule and confessed when you broke it. that's some high level coaching stunts.

Thanks for your tips, especially about the format, I will keep in mind!

I am learning how to show out a good interview for a job and learning english at the same time! Thank you so much!! :)

This is the most helpful answer I have heard (present, past, future) THANK YOU

Thank you mam..I think this would help me with my online interview later...

Thanks that you added more for my Experience
