You know it’s coming.
It’s the most feared question during anyjob interview: Do you think I would look good in a cowboy hat?
Just kidding. The real question is: Can you tell me about yourself?
Blecch. What a boring, vague, open-endedquestion. Who likes answering that?
I know. I’m with you. But unfortunately,hiring managers and executive recruiters ask the question. Even if you’re not interviewing andyou’re out networking in the community — you need to be ready tohear it and answer it. At all times.
Now, before I share a list of 10 memorableanswers, consider the two essential elements behind the answers:
The medium is the message.
The interviewer cares less about youranswer to this question and more about the confidence, enthusiasm and passionwith which you answer it.
The speed of the response is the response.
The biggest mistake you could make ispausing, stalling or fumbling at the onset of your answer, thus demonstrating alack of self-awareness and self-esteem.
Next time you’re faced with the dreaded,“Tell me about yourself…” question, try these:
1 “I can summarize who I am in threewords.”
Grabs their attention immediately.Demonstrates your ability to be concise, creative and compelling.
2 “The quotation I live my life by is…”
Proves that personal development is anessential part of your growth plan. Also shows your ability to motivateyourself.
3 “My personal philosophy is…”
Companies hire athletes – not shortstops.This line indicates your position as a thinker, not just an employee.
4 “People who know me best say that I’m…”
This response offers insight into your ownlevel of self-awareness.
5 “Well, I googled myself this morning, andhere’s what I found…”
Tech-savvy, fun, cool people would saythis. Unexpected and memorable.
6 “My passion is…”
People don’t care what you do – people carewho you are. And what you’re passionate about is who you are. Plus, passionunearths enthusiasm.
7 “When I was seven years old, I alwayswanted to be…”
An answer like this shows that you’ve beenpreparing for this job your whole life, not just the night before.
8 “If Hollywood made a move about my life,it would be called…”
Engaging, interesting and entertaining.
9 “Can I show you, instead of tell you?”
Then, pull something out of your pocketthat represents who you are. Who could resist this answer? Who could forgetthis answer?
10 “The compliment people give me mostfrequently is…”
Almost like a testimonial, this responsealso indicates self-awareness and openness to feedback.
Keep in mind that these examples are justthe opener. The secret is thinking how you will follow up each answer withrelevant, interesting and concise explanations that make the already boredinterviewer look up from his stale coffee and think, “Wow! That’s the bestanswer I’ve heard all day!”
Ultimately it’s about answering quickly,it’s about speaking creatively and it’s about breaking people’s patterns.
I understand your fear with such answers.Responses like these are risky, unexpected and unorthodox. And that’s exactlywhy they work.
Otherwise you become (yet another)non-entity in the gray mass of blah, blah, blah.
You’re hireable because of your answers.When people ask you to tell them about yourself, make them glad they asked.
Let me ask you this: How much time did youdedicate this week to becoming more interesting?
Let me suggest this: For the list called,“61 Stupid Things to Stop Doing Before It’s Too Late,” send an e-mail to me,and you win it for free!、
