Usually, you walk into the room. The interviewer(s) will stand up, shake your hand, invite you to sit down. They start by introducing themselves. They may ask you to say your name, or they may address you by name when you enter the room (they usually already know your basic information).
I’ve never had an interview that asked something so generic as “say something about yourself”. They tend to ask rather specific questions, like “say something about your goals” or “why you deserve this scholarship” or “a hardship you’ve overcome”.

Question by I <3 my boys: In an interview what the interviewer asks “tell me about yourself” what do they really want to know?
Do they want to know your strengths, your personal life, your goals? Should the answer be brief?

Answer by Bev B
They don’t want your life history or personal details (many of which they can’t ask about legally, but you might be tempted to offer them inadvertently when describing yourself). What they want is a concise description of who you think you are and what your best traits are. Hopefully, those traits (honest, hard working, problem solver, team player) fit the company’s culture or the type of position you’re applying for.

Question by Fdjhd Sfdhsdf: “tell me about yourself” and “what is your weakness?” sample answers!!!?
hello yahoo users,
I am a second-year college student who is in co-op this fall term. I have not got my first work experiences, yet have volunteered a number of times. I have not been in the interview environment and I have seen (interview questions& answers) videos on youtube. But, I think I have not got sufficient work experiences. Here is what I have done so far and if you don’t mind, can you please write a sample answer for “tell me about yourself”?
1. volunteered at hospital
-volunteered as a receptionist in family business
-cleaned bed; answered phone calls from patients and make appointments
-have volunteered in summer two times
2. outreach to South Africa
-volunteered at local orphanage and drama
-understanding problems
3. scorekeeping at highschhol
4. being a group leader at a local camp
-keep group members safe
*i am a hardworking student and catch things quickly.
ex when my parents were gone for vacation and I received a bill. I quickly caught that there was a calculation mistake. It cost 300$ less than what i was expected to pay.
-fully committed to work: can do work without having any break which can be weakness because I only think work as my priority. (if i am to answer what is your weakness? then i am going to say about this; but, how can i say?)
thank you in advance

I don’t want to go with the usual “I’m too much of a perfectionist” or “I take on too much responsibility” or “I work too hard”. I feel these are cliche responses that they will see right through. I also don’t want to say something bad about myself that makes them not want to give me the job.
I have an interview for a possible promotion and I know they always ask this question, no matter how pointless it seems to me.
Question by eternus: How do you answer the question “what are your strengths” in an interview if you’re pessimistic about yourself?
When I’m asked “what are your weakness” I sometimes accidentally name 3 or 4, but I can’t think of a good strength. I have low self esteem and can’t think of anything from my work experience that was notable. Usually I say something like “well, uh, I got my job done when there were deadlines” but I probably need something better. Yes, I know, confidence is important, you don’t need to tell me that. Can you give examples of what I could say? I could name a technical skill but that may not be a good idea. I’m talking about interviews for IT type jobs.
