How do I handle the question, "Tell me about yourself"?
When an interviewer asks that question "Tell me about yourself ", it can be so intimidating, and a lot of people don't know what the interviewer is really looking for. Specifically, the interviewer is looking to see how well you answer that question, how well you can formulate a response, and how well you can keep to task. First and foremost you want to answer that question by giving them a brief overview of your professional background. Keep the answers focused on the task at hand, which is getting the job. They don't need to hear your entire life story. What they are looking for are the most salient points of your experience; your expertise, your knowledge, and the skills you can bring to the job
