Tell me about yourself..!!
So,here at my College IBS Hyderabad, the time is arriving for placements for my seniors,and the first question which came to my mind was the Question<<Title of my blog>>
Yes,you guessed it right,the common interview question for interviews is "Telling about yourself".
5. Smile
Don't take yourself too seriously. Meeting new people is just like a date. I check you out, you check me out and lets see if there is something in common. No person is above the other. My QM Professor is the best example.. :)
6. Be nice
Obvious? Maybe. But think about the times when you have met someone and they were checking out the rest of the room instead of listening to you. Or they didn't have basic manners to say "goodbye, it was nice to meet you." Be courteous.

It's kinda the most attractive and shortest part of the interview though but creates a good and everlasting impression if you are good at it..!!
Don't you love that question at an interview, networking events or even parties?
"So.. tell me about yourself?"
What is your answer? Do you have an answer?
Many people call it the elevator speech. That 30 - 60 statement that is suppose to perfectly position you in someone's mind. Its vitally important to get it right, but yet so many people get it wrong. Here are some thinks to ponder about i mean some points:
1. Its actually not about you
Well sorta. Its about how YOU can help the other person. Do you give the other person a clear idea of WHAT you can do to help them?
2. Listen
You can learn a lot be simply letting the other person talk. How do you know if you can help them if you don't know what they need?

3. Don't give me 3 million details
People generally don't remember details given verbally. (unless it is a really AWESOME detail) The point is to leave an idea or impression on a person's mind. When they walk away from you, how do they position you?

- "That's the guy who can help me with my website."
- "That's the girl who builds communities online."
- "That's the guy who actually knows what SEO means and how it can increase my sales."
4. Paint a picture
There is nothing like storytelling. If you describe a scenario, give an example, talk to a situation people follow along quite well.

At the end just 'CHILLAX' and enjoy the interview..
It's all about 'LUCK' and 'DESTINY'..!!
