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,
describe their personalities or behavioral characteristics well. They
appear that they're accustomed to answering the question
and very natural without hesitation. But many Asians I've ever known,
as well as myself, are different.
To me, Unless I need to write a resume
or to respond to the question, I
am feel awkward
to think talking about
myself without
any a reason to. In other words, Asians tend to
tell themselves as some position that could be such as beings at home or office describe themselves as being someone who is always at home or at work. They are used to
valuing the organization they belong to
rather than themselves
, and feel awkward
trying to separate themselves from social context and to look into their own properties talking about themselves without a reason to do so.
I hope this helps. :)
