Tell me about yourself
One of the most frequently asked questions is "Tell me about yourself". Most westerners I've ever met, including people in movies, described their personalities or behavioral characteristics well. They appeared that they're accustomed to answering the question and very natural. But many Asians I've ever known and I are different. To me, unless I need to write a resume or to respond to the question, I am awkward to think about me without any context or situation. In other words, Asians tend to tell themselves as some position that could be such as beings at home or office. They are used to value the organization they belong to than themselves and feel awkward trying to separate themselves from social context and to look into their own properties.
Thank you in advance!
