商务英语口语视频 (初级)104 Tell Me About Yourself

Hi everyone, I'm Brian Krueger with CollegeGrad.com and this is the Job Search Minute.

Brian Krueger

Here's another tough interview question.

Brian Krueger

Tell me about yourself.

Brian Krueger

It seems like an easy question.

Brian Krueger

It's open-ended.

Brian Krueger

I can talk about whatever I want from the birth canal forward, right?

Brian Krueger

Wrong, what the hiring manager really wants is a quick two - to - three - minute snapshot...

Brian Krueger

...of who you are and why you're the best candidate for this position.

Brian Krueger

So as you answer this question, talk about what you've been doing to prepare yourself...

Brian Krueger

...to be the very best candidate for the position.

Brian Krueger

Use an example or two to back it up.

Brian Krueger

Then ask if they would like more details.

Brian Krueger

If they do, keep giving them example after example of your background and experience.

Brian Krueger

Always point back to an example when you have the opportunity.

Brian Krueger

Tell me about yourself does not mean tell me everything.

Brian Krueger

Just tell me about what makes you the best.

Brian Krueger

This has been the job search minute.
