So, I am HR Director, and I interview applicants a lot. I took your advice, and I wanted to change up to my approach because i was interviewing for a job. I used this approached today, and after I answered her question, she was like wow..like damn you impressed me...Good job on the video

[shavonnehurst]

Honestly, this was informative, but not realistic for most job seekers who are seeking this kind of advice for "Tell Me About Yourself". People who are seeking help with the "Tell Me About Yourself" question generally don't have an impressive amount of awards, projects, or work experience in general. It would be fantastic if you made a video answering this question as an entry-level job seeker, not a manager, like in this video

[vanzypubg]

Response as an interviewer is, "that sounds great. Congratulations on that achievement. Still don't know who you are though"

[OGGood-lbbd]

I got a interview tomorrow morning wish me luck everyone

[savage]

Yep I'm stealing this word for word at my next interview.

“I’m a healthcare professional with close to 10 years of experience. My expertise is in learning & development for the use of EMR software in both the public and private sector. In my previous roles I’ve been able to gain knowledge and skills that I believe align perfectly to this role that I’ve applied for. I’m so excited to learn more about the role I’ll be in and the culture of the company”. -You’re welcome ❤️😂

I used to work as a breakfast chef and while I was there the reviews on the breakfast went from 3.5 to 4.5 stars so yeah I will say that from now on

[TommyReckx]

Tell me about yourself
Me in my head on my first interview *Uhh… Im good at call of duty*

[reggierec]

This isn’t telling anyone about yourself but it is telling them about your previous role which is a different question entirely

[PraiseTheFSMonster]

I was going to tell them that I like swimming, eating pizza, and chilling on the couch. No good?

[shafmay]

Everyone of these experts gives different advice on this question

[viewthroughmywindow]

As an HR consultant who interviews job applicants I can 100% confirm this is fantastic advice which will really work. Great video!

I just realized I answered this question completely wrong. Good thing it really wasn’t a big of a deal. It was more of those “interviews for cafe games online” sort of thing, but I’m still quite embarrassed. When they asked the question, I gave my full name, hobbies and other irrelevant information about me. 😭

What do you do if you’ve never been on a relevant project? For example, your previous jobs were always the same tasks every day and nothing ever changed, and now you’re going into a completely new and different field?

[SongofaBeach]

This is perfect, it does a few things. Quickly Sums up your experience while focusing on how its relevant to the role. So many times I have fumbled and rambled on after being asked this question and really made the rest of my interview awkward 😢. Now I know what to concentrate on for my interview this Wednesday and showcase my strengths, value I can bring to the role and most importantly feel and project confidence! Thanks so much, Wish me luck yall! 🙏

[beybrain]

How tf am I supposed to know that I’m supposed to answer like this? I always took the question literally and began listing my personality traits and interests to the interviewer.

[LastRenegade]

I dont think this is the way to go about. its Tell me about yourself not your latest achievemnet. Who are you as a person, how do you fit for the role and the company, what skills can you bring and also how are you as a person outside your work. You dont straight go to your last job achievement at the start of the interview. Like you said it sets the tone of the interview, introducing yourself as a person is what matters at this stage not your achievement (you might add this during your intro but dont just give this as intro and stop), as an interviewer I would not have a clue about what type of individual you are with just this answer.

[saamor]

i’m a college student. i will say what major, classes that i’m taking rn that can benefit me and also help in job,
past volunteering experience growing up, then what i like to do in my free time (play instruments, gym)

i think this is good?

[lizzy]

I believe this is SAR!! Situation, action, result!

[SalmanKhan-vybm]

Great advice - love the structure! But also, an increase to 40k from 25k is not 20%, it's 60%.
