4 common “Tell Me about Yourself” interview questions and

answers
1. A brief summary of your personal details: You have to give your name, where you are from
and a brief review of your resume. You may also provide any other personal detail that you
choose to provide.

2. Education: You should tell the interviewer about your educational qualifications and any
relevant miscellaneous educational qualifications that you might have amassed.

3. Professional experience: Standard questions during a job interview are “tell me about your
professional experience”. Depending on whether you are a novice or an experienced
professional, you should share your previous job experiences. If you are a novice, then, you
could tell anything that you think would be relevant for the job. You may provide a scope of
your educational capabilities and strengths or any of your hobbies, etc.

4. What are Your weaknesses and strengths: One of the tricky interview questions that you
might be asked is “tell me about your weaknesses and/or strengths”. Therefore, you should
prepare for such questions. A common mistake is to take strength and present it as a weakness.
You should be honest. You may share one-two of your weaknesses and the way you have
(successfully) corrected or handled these weaknesses. On the other hand, do not boast your

strengths. Tell about some of your strengths as having a positive impact on your professional
capabilities.

5 tips for “Tell Me about Yourself” interview answers

Try to be as clear, precise and frank as possible. When interviewing and answering “tell me
about yourself” questions, you should avoid common mistakes and stick to the facts as follows:  

1. Keep the information crisp and relevant: One of the first things to remember is to keep the
information crisp and relevant. Try to speak in short sentences and moreover, try to give them as
much information as possible in the least amount of time. Here is a brief idea of what you would
be saying, refer to: How to Describe Yourself in an Interview.

2. Do not repeat information from the CV: You should ascertain that none of the information
that you provide about yourself is repeated or duplicated from your curriculum vitae. Therefore,
even your curriculum vitae should only contain the necessary and relevant information, while all
other miscellaneous information should be disclosed during the ‘tell me about yourself’ answers.

3. Fabricated or false information: Another important thing that you should remember is that
you should not give any fabricated or false information while answering the Tell Me about
Yourself Interview question. Background checks today have become very important and strict.
Companies are known to sack people even after years of working, simply on the basis of some
false information provided to them during the initial interview.

4. Irrelevant and unnecessary information: It is very important that no irrelevant and

unnecessary information is given out during the question. The question seems to be quite simple,
but it is actually one of those make or break questions, from which an interviewee can never
recover and hence loses the job opportunity.

5. Facts and figures: While telling about yourself, be prepared to be asked further questions
about any facts and figures that you have provided. For example, if you have said that you have a
Bachelor’s degree, make sure that you carry a copy of the same. Any information given without
the relevant proof may be deemed suspicious and ambiguous.

6. Do Not Tell them about: You should not disclose too much information . You might tell the
interviewer that your hobby is fishing, but telling about your last fishing trip in which you
missed a big fish would be too much information, unless the interviewer is a big fishing fan and
actually goads you into telling the details. Also, you should not give them too much information
about your family members. Of course, you would have to inform them about the number of
family members that you have,  and whether they work or not, and if yes, where, those kinds of
details, but telling them anything apart from that is not suggested.

Why should we hire you..?
When it comes to job interviews, there are several questions that are not exactly work related, but
are one of the major reasons why your job interview does not provide the results that are in your
best interests.
One such question is: “why should we hire you?” Basically, this question is one of the important
questions during an interview.

For one, the interview question “give us reasons to hire you”, “why should we employ you” or
“what can you bring to our company” is something that differentiates the best candidates from
the other good candidates.

This question is more often a surprise question to most individuals who are not as experienced in
the process of the job interview. Also, this question works as a divider between the people who
are just casually looking for a job and the people who are really seeking a job.
If a person does his or her homework in the right manner, he or she would certainly come across
this question as one of the most frequently asked questions and may also know how to handle it.

Answer To Why Should We Hire You

While answering this question, remember that the answer should not come across to be
egotistical or be completely unrealistic. You should focus on providing reasons to hire you over
someone else in the best way you can.
The interviewer wants to hear – how you are going to create value. Therefor, focus on ‘value
creation’ when answering.
The following are some points to consider:

1. One of the best ways to answer this question is to make a short list of all your advantages and
create a paragraph that would point out the positive aspects that you would bring to the new job
position.

2. One of the points that you can raise is the similarity of the job profile you are aiming for at the
company to the job profile you enjoyed in your previous job.

3. You can also draw the interviewer’s attention to your key skills and strengths, namely – quick
learning, excellent communication skills, etc.

4. In addition, your professional ambitions should be made clear – the motivation and dedication
that you have for the profession and the opening position.

5. Make sure that your answers do not come out to be too much about yourself or that they come
across as conceited.

3
6. Your body language when you answer the question is important too. For example, your body
language should make it clear that you have thought it over and given a carefully worded answer,
instead of coming up with a made up, contrived answer.

While answering, firstly, take one of the job requirements, then focus on one of your related
strengths/skills AND give a concrete example (a success story) based on your past experiences to
support your point. Break the job requirements into fragments and continue in this manner.
For the last sentence, a phrase that can be used is:
The job is tailored to my (or- I will bring my) experience, knowledge base and abilities and I
believe I can maximize my skills for the benefit of the company.

Other good phrases can be found at –

1. Why do you want this job.
2. Why did you choose this career.
3. Resume objective examples.

What can you bring to this company?

In summing up this question, I believe that it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that your answer is
one of the crucial “make or break” moments in a job interview:

1. Before this question, you’ve already talked about your experience, your education, your
strengths and weaknesses and your skills. What else can you say?

2. Keep in mind that other candidates probably answered this question and this is your best
chance to distinguish yourself from the others.

3. “Why should I hire you?” – Here is your chance to perform – go and sell yourself!!
This question is not an open invitation to repeat and describe your profile. Your answer should
not only focus on yourself – It should reflect back to the job requirements and to the
company.

4. The interviewer wishes to observe what you can bring to the company – what your real value
is.

Why are you the best person for the job? What can you contribute to this company? think smart..
They’re offering you a ladder to a professional career with a good salary and benefits. What are
you offering them?

Why Did You Choose This Career – Interview Question
and Answers..??
 

are hard to come by, and good jobs are becoming virtually inaccessible. With the changing times,
the interview process has undergone great change.  Today, the interview is a process consisting
of several questions that you never would have had to imagine a few years ago.

Some of these job interview questions are trick questions, which are basically asked in a bid to
differentiate between good interviewees and the best interviewees.
One such tricky question can be asked in different ways:
1. Why did you take up this profession?
2. Why did you choose this career/job?
3. Why did you specifically select this career as opposed to a myriad of others?

Here are some tips and suggestions as to how you can safely answer this question–
Basically speaking, the answer to this question depends on the profession and job that you have
applied for.
Noble profession
If the job is in any noble profession such as law or medicine, you can simply say that you wish
to join the noble profession in an endeavor to do your bit to solve the problems around you. If
you are applying for a job in the legal profession, you can always mention the fact that you wish
to help others with their legal problems.

Basic interest
Another answer that you can give to this question is that you have always had a basic interest in
the core responsibility of this career. For example, if you are asked this question during a
programmer job

interview, you can simply say that you always had an interest in computing and computers.
Similarly, if you have applied for a webmaster job interview, you can say that you were
genuinely interested in the digital medium and in computing and internet.

Growth potential
You can also point out the growth potential for anyone who joins the said profession. All jobs
have a growth potential and a growth timeframe. The timeframe varies from profession to
profession. In some professions it may be six months to a year, while in others it may be a year
or more. Therefore, if your profession has a growth potential timeframe of six months to one
year, make sure that you speak about it as one of the reasons to enter this profession.

The scope of the profession

Another reason that you can discuss is the scope of the profession that you have applied for. If
the job that you have applied for may soon be part and parcel of every company and industry, it
5
is another good point that you can make when you are asked why you have chosen this as a
career.

Your skills
This can also be one of the most difficult questions asked of a customer care associate or a sales
representative.  A customer care associate job is highly stressful and quite hectic. Therefore,
asking this question during an interview would put the interviewee in a quandary.
The best answer to this question is that you are always interested in interaction with people and
you wish to learn/know all about the day to day happenings in a high productivity department, so
that you may be able to understand it better in the future.

A stable job
With the growing change in the global condition of jobs and finances, people are looking for
jobs in companies and professions that offer stability and cater to many businesses. If your
company offers a stable job, make sure that you inform the interviewer that you consider a stable
job one of the reasons why you have applied for the particular job.

Tips on how to answer this question

Consider the job position and your background before customizing these answers.
Keep in mind that you should try to construct an answer that will explain who you are and why
you are there.
