Tell Me About Yourself

"When an interviewer asks you this question, it isn't a polite request for your life story. What the interviewer wants to know is "why should I hire you?" Though you can answer this open-ended question in myriad ways, the key to answering this question is to offer a response that supports your career objective. This means that you should not respond with comments about your family details, hobbies, spouse, or cat but craft a convincing statement that will make the interviewer want to know more about you and what you can do for his organisation.

The following steps will help you grab the interviewer's attention:
Focus On What's Important
List down five strengths you have that are pertinent to the job (experience, personality traits, your positive skills, et al). What do you want the interviewer to know about you when you leave?

Keep To The Script
Prepare a brief that includes the information you want to convey. Begin by talking about past job experiences and proven success. Next, mention your strengths and achievements. And then conclude with a statement about your current situation and what you are looking for in your next job.

Practice, Practice, Practice
Practice with your brief until you feel confident about what you want to emphasize in your statement. Your brief should help you stay on track, but you shouldn't memorise it as you don't want to sound artificial and rehearsed. You should sound spontaneous and conversational. Even if you are not asked this type of question to begin the interview, this preparation will help you focus on what you have to offer. The more you can talk about your product (which in this case is YOU!) the better chance you will have at selling it.
