Tell me about yourself. \n\nTRAPS:  Beware, about 80% of all interviews begin with this “innocent” question. Many candidates, unprepared for the question, skewer themselves by rambling, recapping their life story, delving into ancient work history or personal matters.\n\nBEST ANSWER:  Start with the present and tell why you are well qualified for the position. Remember that the key to all successful interviewing is to match your qualifications to what the interviewer is looking for. In other words you must sell what the buyer is buying. This is the single most important strategy in job hunting. \n\nSo, before you answer this or any question it's imperative that you try to uncover your interviewer's greatest need, want, problem or goal. \n\nTo do so, make you take these two steps:\n\n1.Do all the homework you can before the interview to uncover this person's wants and needs (not the generalized needs of the industry or company)\n\n2.As early as you can in the interview, ask for a more complete description of what the position entails.  You might say: “I have a number of accomplishments I'd like to tell you about, but I want to make the best use of our time together and talk directly to your needs. To help me do, that, could you tell me more about the most important priorities of this position?  All I know is what I (heard from the recruiter, read in the classified ad, etc.)”\n\n Then, ALWAYS follow-up with a second and possibly, third question, to draw out his needs even more. Surprisingly, it's usually this second or third question that unearths what the interviewer is most looking for. \n\nYou might ask simply, "And in addition to that?..." or, "Is there anything else you see as essential to success in this position?: \nThis process will not feel easy or natural at first, because it is easier simply to answer questions, but only if you uncover the employer's wants and needs will your answers make the most sense. Practice asking these key questions before giving your answers, the process will feel more natural and you will be light years ahead of the other job candidates you're competing with.\n \nAfter uncovering what the employer is looking for, describe why the needs of this job bear striking parallels to tasks you've succeeded at before. Be sure to illustrate with specific examples of your responsibilities and especially your achievements, all of which are geared to present yourself as a perfect match for the needs he has just described.

This really all depends on your interviewer and the firm.\n\nBut, be prepared by chosing in advance 2-3 specific work experiences in the past that you have really enjoyed.  Also chose 1-2 personal, non-job related experience. Analyze them. \n\n1. Why did you like them? Why did you not like them? \n2. Did you fail or succeed, and why?  \n3. What did those experiences teach you about yourself? That you like working with teams? Or that you prefer working indpendently?\n4. Did those experiences emphasize any strengths and weaknesses?\n5. What other lessons did you learn?\n\nOnce in the interview, remain calm.  You've already got 2-6 examples that you can use to showcase your talents, your skills, your experience, etc.

First you are gonna get an interview(make sure you have your resume with you, it makes you look prepared and responsible), then they are going to call you and tell you if you got the job or not, don't freak out about it, you'll do just fine!\nHere's a few tips for your interview:\n\n1)Make sure you are dressed like if you are gonna go to church or somewhere nice, that shows how much you care about the interview, and gives a good impression about yourself. Don't wear flip-flops, jeans, shirts, or very showy or sparkly make-up and cloth, makes you look trashy!\n2)Make sure your hair is not messed up, and that your nails are really clean (toes, and fingers)\n3)When you shake hands with your interviewer, give them a strong (not so strong you don't want to cut their circulation off!lol) shake, that makes you look confident and well-prepared.\n4)Make eye contact at all times- it lets the interviewer know that you are paying attention to the conversation.\n5)When they ask you a question, don't just answer the question, first answer the question and then explain why.\n6)Don't wear flip-flops or sandals, it's very informal and makes them think that you are dirty (especially if it's a job at a restaurant).\n7)Try to make conversation with the interviewer, makes them think that you like them, and that you are a social person.\n8)DO NOT interrupt the interviewer, it's very rude, and that lets the interviewer know that you don't wait for instruction to be given.\n9)When you enter the room and shake hands with the interviewer make sure you smile, it makes you look confident, and not nervious.\n10)When you live the interview make sure you say something like "thank you so much for your time, it was really nice meeting you!" with a smile on your face(it shows gratitude), and shake hands with him/her.\n\nI hope this helped you!

I think probably she wanted to know about you personally.  She wants to know if you are a person of wider interest.  \n\nIt might be useful if you were prepared to talk about musical instruments that you play, sports that you enjoy participating in, voluntary work, creative arts, interesting places you have travelled, anything constructive or interesting that you have done outside of education or paid employment.\n\nBad/trite/dull answers would "socialising with friends", "watching television", "playing computer games", "chatting on the Internet", "shopping".  Have something more interesting to talk about!

Here are some quick tips that should help you:\n\nFirst, you will probably be asked this question: "Why don't you tell me about yourself". Your best answer to this question is always: "I'd be happy to. I have a broad range of experiences, which particular areas of my background are most important to you"?  This answer alone will help you stand out.\n\nNext, I'll share an interview secret that will make you stand out from everyone else. Anytime you answer a question, always do these TWO things. First, use an example from your past to illustrate your answer. For example, if the question is: "What is the first thing you do when you tackle a marketing problem?" Answer by sharing a story from your past that addresses the issue. Its easy. For example: "I've learned to spend time thinking about the issue from the client's perspective. When I was in college, I faced a difficult challenge of promoting our dorm party to the campus...and I'm certain that's why it was so well attended". Second, always finish you answer by stating plainly that your skills will help the company. For example: My ability to think about marketing from the client's perspective will allow me to help (the company your interviewing with) increase its marketshare. So, don't forget the TWO things to do when answering a question: Tell a story from your past that proves you have the abilities - and state plainly that those skills will help the company.\n\nAnd the very last tip is one that very few people do. But, do this and you probably land the job. At the very end of the interview simply say: "I like this company, and the market. After talking with you, I'm even more excited about this position. Do you see any reason why I wouldn't be the right choice for this position?". What ever he/she says - address it and ASK FOR THE JOB.\n\nGood luck and be well.

Not at all!  This is an open question that let's you sell yourself to the interviewer.  Don't look at it as having to tell about your personal life.  Point out things about yourself that are positive, and that will be an asset to their company.  No interviews are really "fun", but this is a question that is allowing you to take the lead of the interview, and tell what YOU want them to know about you.  Do not discuss anything that would cast doubt on your ability or that you are questioning the job.  Toward the end of the interview, they will ask if you have any questions, and you can clear up any questions you have at that time.
