A Tricky Question – “Tell Me About Yourself?”


Most people, when they are asked this question during an interview, start sharing personal information. And here they go. The employer does not mean to ask about your social security number or place of birth. He might be referring to you, your family, and other such related things. Now, if you select to answer the question in this pattern, you will lose the chance of getting that particular job, because your answer is incorrect.


Usually, the sneaky kind of employers uses this information against you. 


The best answer to this question is to tell the employer about your education and institute, then about your previous experiences and then about your plans.

It is always advisable to answer such questions tactfully so that in the end, you do not feel or fear of losing the job vacancy in Jaipur.
