Why are these the most frequently asked interview questions? Probably because they give the employer a good idea of who you are and if you're the best fit for their company.
** Tell Me About Yourself
This is an obvious open-ended questions where the interviewer is inviting you to give some background on yourself. But wait. Should you start revealing personal information about yourself? No. This isn't a beauty contest or game show.
How to Answer: This is not a question you should try to wing off the top of your head. You need to write down a careful answer to this question and practice saying it out loud again and again.
** Prepare a Script
List five strengths that are directly related to this job and incorporate them into a 'Tell Me About Yourself' mini script. You want to keep the focus on your past job experience and what you personally bring to your position(s):
Example:
'I have been in the ________ industry/business for the past ______ years.'
'My most recent experience has been ______.'
'One reason I enjoy this business is _____.'
'In my last job I ________.'
'My real strength is my ________.'
'What I'm looking for now is _______.'
