Presentation: “So, Tell Me about Yourself”
You know it’s coming. Your anxiety increases, the pressure is on, your mind races, and then you hear the dreaded words, “So, tell me about yourself.”
Now what? You can’t figure out what the interviewer is really asking, let alone what the right answer should be. You might not be the perfect fit, and you don’t want to reveal your weaknesses. You don’t know how much detail to provide or how much of your life should be shared. Should you focus on your experience? your skills? something else?
Such a simple request, but one fraught with peril. The air that just got sucked out of the room slowly returns while your panic continues to escalate, and still, you’re fumbling for a response.
Now imagine that you actually looked forward to having this be your first interview question. It’s the question that can be a make or break and set the tone for the rest of the interview.
Alex Freund, The Landing Expert, will pull the curtain back and guide you in how to respond so that hiring managers are impressed and therefore left wanting to know more about you.
In this seminar, you will:
⦁ Learn where the power lies behind this question.
⦁ Understand the hiring manager’s motivations behind this question.
