Hello Elmer, You will be roughly selling your image in a job interview. Make sure that image is realistic though and part of it demonstrated in the answer to that particular question : " tell me about yourself ?" Here are some tips : -Be honest about your capabilities, if you don't know how to do something, say you don't know but let the employer know you are capable of learning and even give an example of something else you learned to do, maybe at another job or even a hobby . Here it is convenient to mention hobbies in a context showing how you can easily learn doing things. - List some of your characteristics and of course make them sound as positive as possible. But be honest ,don't say you are outgoing while you are introvert for example.The question is asked to see how you perceive yourself ,so keep a positive attitude . - Don't be shy and say the positive things about you with confidence. - Make sure you are very familiar with your resume, that you would mention some job history or achievements stated there while talking about yourself. Don't contradict by mentioning something totally opposite to a statement there. - Mention examples in your previous experience where these qualities allowed you to overcome a problem or succeed at a task. It reflects your efficiency level and ability to overcome problems at work. - Try to be fair in your answer showing both your strong and weak points ,that sounds more honest, although you would be emphasizing on the good points. - Whatever you say ,keep it relevant to the job you are being interviewed for, for example if the job requires strong communication skills , and you are good at both communication and administrative skills. Emphasize on mentioning your ability to communicate effectively and give more examples concerning those skills with a relatively brief mentioning of the other skills. Wishing you good luck:)
