How to Answer “Tell me about yourself” To Increase Job Offers
This is one of the most common asked interview questions, but its the easiest job interview question to answer
Personally, I love this open job interview question, as it gives you the chance to say anything you want to say. Don’t miss your chance smack the employer in the chops with a couple of unique selling points!!
Ok, so most people mess up this opportunity. But today I will teach you have to start the job interview with a big bang by smashing this first introductory job interview question
How to Blow Away The Interviewer
Employers follow a set of rules when interviewing potential employees. Rule 1 make the applicant feel at ease by asking as simple open question designed to get them talking
The interviewer isn’t expecting anything of substance here. They predict that you will stumble over your words, stutter and simple mess up until you get the confidence to start talking with confidence
So, to stand out, all you have to do is start with a killer job interview answer that will influence the rest of the job interview…resulting in more job offers…resulting in a higher salary
How to Answer the Interview Question
Don’t be an idiot and start talking about how much you love your pet dog! This has actually happened in a job interview I was leading on
The interviewer isn’t expecting fireworks, but the answer must be related to the job position you are applying for
To answer this question you need to think of 3, industry-related, unique selling points. What is you are offering that others aren’t? What can you bring to the business? What knowledge or expertise do you possess?
Think about it when you are buying a house the estate agent doesn’t start off talking about all the little irrelevant details. No, they tell you about the 3 key strengths of the property; location, price, the converted loft! You need to get your interviewer interested in you from the get-go
Once you open with a killer line then you can give some extra details. Explained what it is you can bring to the organisation, discuss those additional skills (you may be an expert in excel, project management or customer service
You may choose to talk about your work ethic or values. Once you have sold yourself you need to end with a summary “If I was offered the job it is these 3 things I would bring to the company; A, B and C”
