Here, I talk about how I approach the "Tell me about yourself" question to be a strong candidate for a product manager role.

    Hi Chloe, this is really great! I really appreciate you sharing your own experiences and answering the question yourself - it's super fascinating how you've got such a variety of experiences under your belt, and how you were able to tie all of that into a clean answer to help with your transition to PM. I've already answered the "tell me about yourself" question nearly 20 times recently... watching your video made me realize there's a lot I can still improve with my answer!

    Hi Chloe! Thanks for you ENTIRE channel! It helps so much as a first-gen asian American that's trying to break into tech. I thought I was going to restrict myself to Data Analyst or UX design and came across your channel. It's answered a lot of questions! Please keep it up.

  • @abdulbanglee
    This is my least favorite interview question because if I'm interviewing with multiple companies I have to re-introduce myself multiple times which can get exhausting 😅 Nevertheless, great content Chloe! Love the way you categorized all the information down into fundamental pieces.
