interviews
how to reply to the frequently asked question in the interviews such as this one" tell me about ur self" actually what does the interviewer expects from us when he asks this question?
[ ]
Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
to see how good ur background is
]
Tell them about what school you go to + what you're involved in there, interests outside of school, some of your goals, some [[ good ]] things about your personality, etc.
]
your name,age,occupation,what college you went to (if at that age),hobbies, you no basic stuff!

Well I think everyone else's reply have said it but yeah.. The interviewer doesnt care about your love life, family life, friends life or life at school, he wants to cut to the chase and talk about YOU. YOUR interests, your weaknesses n strengths, how well you perform on a job and your other work expiriences. And if you havent had a job before and this is your first interview, then let them know that. Dont fake during an interview, whatever you do stay calm and try to stick to being honest. He/She doesnt want you to fill thier head with a bunch of far out things to make yourself look good. The most important thing is to go in calm and be yourself. Let them know your interested in the job and give details about how you as a person would be right for the job and list your qualities and make it interesting but as i said, stay honest and dont stretch anything that could turn into a lie. Just be yourself and who you are and about 95% of the time by doing that, you have the job in the bag

he expects you to say things in your interest such as.. "im __ years old, and i go to ___ ___ school, and i heard about this job and thought it sounded like a good opportunity .
things lyk that are good ^ .. they dont expect you to tell them yur whole life story .. just enough to make them interested in you.
good luck have fun .. x0x -aSh

Usually, they are looking for a "high level view" of you - they want to see how well-rounded you are, see where your interests lie, etc. Thus, when asked that, it is better to give light details and provide lots of different things about you. This way, if anything catches the interviewer's interest, they can ask you another more specific question regarding one of those things. Hopefully an interview won't open with this question first - that should be frowned upon as it doesn't establish what the scope of the interview is.

Most of the time the interviewer will want you to sell yourself, ie say what sort of expierience you have, what your strengths are, what hobbies you have and why they are pertinent to the job, stuff like that.
]
They mean, what's there about you? What do you like to do? What are you good at? What's your hobbies? How long have you lived here? Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Stuff that doesn't have a specific question.
