akinsadeez:That question simply means 'let me know who you are by selling yourself to me'...I would suggest you start with your name, then when and where you were born, where you schooled and what you studied stating what you gained from what you studied. Then you can talk about where you've worked, what skills you developed where you've worked that will be useful in the job you are interviewing for. Try to keep it brief and basically warm up to the interviewer. Keep things that are really personal away...My view though A structure can be like; -Tell about yourself, your name, where and when you were born -indirectly state your greatest strength and relate it to why your studied what you studied where you schooled. Clearly say the skills you acquired that are useful in the job. - then talk about where you have worked and what you learnt while working. In summary-Introduce yourself and sell yourself, (SEL-situation, experience, learning) 2 Likes 1 Share |

SenatorJames:I was at an interview and I gave one weakness. Mehn the interviewer wasn't satisfied. She was pressurizing me to say more. I quote. "So Mr freshdude, your trying to tell me your perfect. So that's the only weakness u have. Like your a very perfect person." Then she started taking notes on her sheet. That was were I lost control.!! Up till now, I am still waiting to hear from them. |

Whenever I go for an interview and I see a foreigner or a foreign trained Nigerian Interviewer I feel more comfortable because they behave more professional at interviews. Most interviewers here in Nigeria allow sentiments cloud their judgment to the extent that you have been judged even before you utter your first word. 5 Likes 1 Share |

CHM11: Wow. thanks for the wonderful response. But is it advisable to tell stories while answering this question because looking at this structure, it might be difficult to answer without telling one story or another. How can one answer as stated above and still keep it brief . |
Re: Ten Tough Interview Questions And Ten Great Answers by CHM11: 12:37pm On Dec 24, 2014 |
akinsadeez:Nope you can keep it brief, within 2-3 mins is enough. You can say - My name is General Muhamadu Buhari, born on june 2 1976 in Lagos. Naturally I am a very technical person which is why I studied Chemical engineering at the University of Benin where I made a second class upper. Studying Chemical engineering in Uniben helped me develop values such as teamwork, excellence, integrity, empathy and continuous improvement. I have worked with some very good companies which helped me build very useful competencies. I currently work with bla bla bla as bla bla bla where I am responsible for bla bla bla. You can then summaries by stating that your values align with those of the companies and competencies you have gained from past experiences are what is needed in this job and you bring more than just what is needed. Most important thing is to read the interviewer and see if its someone who wants you to talk much or just brief......you will know from the body language. ..this question defines how the interview will go. If you play yourself down you will be played down throughout the interview. Sell your worth and sell more |
