Tell Me About Yourself - Good Answer

Man, I hate this question.... actually I just hate interviews.

Don, I used your techniques and received 2 offers today!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks!

At first I didn’t like the idea of “telling a compelling story” but took Don’s advice, told the interview panel what REALLY moved me about my career and it made such an impact they gave me the promotion! This video made a huge difference and definitely worked for me.

I love retail sales where I am interacting with others and a busy work environment. I grew up in a family that had thier own store business, it really inspired me seeing grandpa's store and retail is something i really like doing. (Its about the journey) I got hired on the spot at a store with big job gaps, used this answer.

Thank you, Don Your video clips help me a lot on job interviews. You taught me on how to organize the answer and how to use proper words, and tell the story about the achievements, and so on. Your efforts here are much appreciated. I hope others can also benefit from your work here. Thank you again, and I wish you all the best.

Thank you thank you thank you. This is the most helpful video I have seen on how to properly answer this question while still being engaging, personal and still professional. Thank you so much!

Out of all the videos I've watched on this particular subject, you're the only one who talked about this question as being a way to make a "connection" with the potential employer; a warmer, more personal, and more human way of answering this question instead of interpreting and answering this question as a "tell me about all the great things you did." I love this method! If it were me hiring, this is what I would want to hear from the candidate, and not "all the great things you did. I know your great, that's why I called you in for an interview" kinda thing. Thank you for this great and insightful video!

Me in system engineering interview "I wanna be a vet"

Today I had a job interview. Thanks to you, I was prepared for anything that could happen and had a plan, detailed like the one they had to invade Normandy back then. It turned out a walk in the park. Easiest ever and I think this was so easy, because I knew exactly, that with the prep you provided for free here, I will be safe no matter what. Normally I am overexcited, fearful and make mistakes in interviews based on my insecurity. None of this today. I copied your bodylanguage and way of talking, as you are an absolute pro in communication At the moment I still live in a tent without income, yet I will soon be very well and buy your book to pay for your invaluable free services. Thank you!

Thanks for your videos, I learn so much about the interviews

Thank you, Doc. I am a HR professional with over 13 years of experience and always struggled to prepare for this question, though I do alright. But until now, I would be focused on that corporate/cold answer. Now, while I was watching this video, I came up with my story and I know now exactly how to answer it. Thank you so much for the thoughtful video. Keep doing the great work!!

Mr. Don, why haven't I seen this before? I genuinely love your insight; the other day I was checking out quite a number of ideas from people like you, they were great, but yours OMG.. I listened to you without a blink, this is exactly what I'm gonna do during my interview in a few days, thank you really. You took me back in time, and those great moments flashed back slowly as you went by, thank you indeed!

Thank you Don!! I got two job offers today because of you. Your videos are the best. Victoria

Great video, Don! I agree it's important to be warm and personal while communicating your professional story.

This is the best response I’ve seen. Thank you. Being authentic is important...most people recommend talking about accomplishments and awards which is great, but not who you really are as a person.

This is the best advice I've ever heard for this interview question! I'm most grateful.

I love how warm your approach is. love it.

Thank you so much for this great vid. I am pursuing an internship in drug counseling and was once told by a counselor that I would make a good therapist just because of my journey from a dysfunctional family to what I have become. Now I understand how personal problems, healing, education, and a very real passion has given me the ability to be a good counselor. Now, if I can only get all that down to a minute...

Thank you sir! Very nice method to answer 'Tell me about yourself' 👍

I love this, thank you so much for offering a more authentic guide for answering an important interview question. I will use your tips!
