Answer Posted / deepak reliance inf..
You walk into the interview room, shake hands with your
interviewer and sit down with your best interviewing smile
on. Guess what their first question is? "Tell me about
yourself."
Do you "wing it" and actually tell all manner of things
about yourself? Will you spend the next 5 minutes rambling
on about what an easy-going, loyal, dedicated, hard working
employee you've been? If this is the case, you stand a good
chance of having bored your interviewer to death thus
creating a negative first impression.
Because it's such a common interview question, it's strange
that more candidates don't spend the time to prepare for
exactly how to answer it. Perhaps because the question seems
so disarming and informal, we drop our guard and shift into
ramble mode. Resist all temptation to do so.
Your interviewer is not looking for a 10-minute dissertation
here. Instead, offer a razor sharp sentence or two that sets
the stage for further discussion and sets you apart from
your competitors.
Your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
Give them "your synopsis about you" answer, specifically
your Unique Selling Proposition. Known as a personal
branding or a value-added statement, the USP is a succinct,
one-sentence description of who you are, your biggest
strength and the major benefit that a company will derive
from this strength. Here is an example of a Unique Selling
Proposition: "I'm a seasoned Retail Manager strong in
developing training programs and loss prevention techniques
that have resulted in revenue savings of over $2.3Million
for (employer's name) during the past 11 years."
What a difference you've made with this statement. Your
interviewer is now sitting forward in her chair giving you
her full attention. At this point, you might add the
following sentence: "I'd like to discuss how I might be able
to do something like that for you." The ball is now back in
her court and you have the beginnings of a real discussion
and not an interrogation process.
Be Specific
The key is that you must lead with your strongest benefit to
the employer. Be specific and don't wander about with some
laundry list of skills or talents. Be sure to put a monetary
value on your work if at all possible and be ready with
details when you're called upon. Give an estimated value to
the $$ you've either helped to make or save for your employer.
Be Prepared
When you walk into an interview, remember to always expect
the "tell me about yourself" question. Prepare ahead of time
by developing your own personal branding statement that
clearly tells who you are, your major strength and the clear
benefit that your employer received. The advantages of this
approach are that you'll quickly gain their attention and
interest them in knowing more. You'll separate yourself from
your competitors. You'll also have a higher chance of being
positively remembered and hired.
