- [ ] Tell me about yourself" is a common interview question that is usually asked at the beginning of an interview to help the candidate introduce themselves.
- [ ] While it might seem simple, how you answer it can set the tone for the rest of the conversation.
- [ ] For a Java interview, it’s essential to focus on your relevant technical skills, experience with Java, and your understanding of the programming concepts, as well as your ability to apply them in real-world situations.

### 1. **Start with a brief introduction and ** **Summarize your professional experience:**
- **Who you are:** Begin with a concise introduction of your background, including your name, education, and experience level.
- **Example:**
"Hi, I'm [Your Name]. I’ve been working as a Java Developer for the past [X] years, where I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects."

### 2. **Highlight your key skills:**

### 4. **Explain why you’re interested in this role/company:**

### 5. **Mention any relevant certifications or continuous learning:**

Do's and Dont's

Do's:

- [ ] Keep it concise: Avoid diving too deep into personal history or irrelevant details.
- [ ] Be confident: Emphasize your strengths without being overly boastful.
- [ ] Tailor your answer: Customize it based on the job description and the company’s focus.

Dont's

- [ ] Don’t Give a Life Story - Avoid diving into personal details, unrelated experiences, or lengthy backstories. This is a professional question, and your response should focus on your technical and professional journey.
- [ ] Don’t Overload with Technical Jargon - While it's important to highlight your technical skills, avoid using too much technical jargon without context.
- [ ] Don’t Lie or Exaggerate - Be honest about your skills and experience. It’s better to admit something you’re still learning than to claim expertise you don’t have. Interviewers can often spot when candidates are exaggerating.
- [ ] Don’t Focus on What You Don’t Know - Avoid emphasizing what you lack or don’t have experience in, as this shifts the focus to your weaknesses rather than your strengths.
- **Don’t say**: “I haven’t worked with Kafka much, but I’m hoping to learn it soon.”
- **Instead, say**: “I’ve worked with RabbitMQ for messaging in some projects, and I’m currently learning Kafka to broaden my expertise in event-driven architectures.”

- [ ] Don’t Over-Sell Yourself: Be confident but not arrogant. It’s important to communicate your experience and skills in a humble and balanced way.
- **Don’t say**: “I’m the best Java developer out there. No one can code better than me.”
- **Instead, say**: “I’m confident in my Java skills and always strive to write clean, efficient code while staying open to learning from my team.”
